Is topical medicine effective for vitiligo? Depending on the situation, it can be used in these two cases
Vitiligo is a chronic skin disease that is more difficult to treat than ordinary skin diseases. It is caused by the lack of melanin in the epidermis. The vitiligo has the property of spreading to the surrounding skin, making the vitiligo bigger and bigger. The larger the vitiligo, the more severe the disease and the more difficult it is to treat.
Therefore, the treatment of vitiligo should be timely, and it should be treated as soon as possible after the discovery. It should not wait for the condition to be serious before treatment, and should choose regular hospital treatment.
Some people ask if vitiligo is effective with topical medicine? This actually depends on the situation. Some people use it, and some people don't. You need to go to the hospital to check before you know it. It depends on the severity of the condition, because the medicine for vitiligo is not suitable for all vitiligo patients. The condition is different. The effect of the drug will also be different.
In both cases, topical medications for vitiligo work.
- Early stage of vitiligo
When the leukoplakia is still pale white, the damage of melanocytes at that time is not serious, the use of external medicine can restore melanocytes and generate melanin, but what kind of external medicine is used, it needs to be used under the guidance of a doctor, not privately. .
- The recovery period of vitiligo
After one or two courses of treatment in the hospital, the vitiligo begins to form melanin and is in the recovery stage. At this time, some external medicines can be used under the guidance of the doctor to speed up the formation of melanin. But keep in mind that you must not take medicines without permission, because these medicines will have some irritation to the skin, and if they are used incorrectly, they may aggravate the condition.
Therefore, external medicines also have certain effects on vitiligo, but they must be used correctly. Not all external medicines are suitable for use. It is best to use them under the guidance of a doctor.
