If there is no history of vitiligo in the family, how can a child suddenly get vitiligo? This is a question that many parents have, and it is one of the common questions in outpatient care. Today we are talking about the causes of vitiligo in children! Vitiligo
Many people know that:Vitiligo is a genetic predisposition, and if one or both parents have vitiligo, the risk of developing vitiligo is higher than normal. However, this is not absolute, and if one or both parents have vitiligo, the child will not necessarily develop vitiligo. Of course, neither parent has vitiligo, and there is no guarantee that the child will not develop vitiligo. Because vitiligo is a multi-faceted disease, its predisposing factors are not only genetic.
1. What are the factors that children are prone to induce vitiligo?
1. Immunocompromised:Children are in the stage of growth and development, and the functions of various organs have not yet matured, and some children are born with weak immunity and poor immune function. Weakened immune system is one of the important causes of vitiligo, so the risk of developing vitiligo in such children will also be higher.
2. Lack of trace elements:The improvement of the material level of contemporary life has led many children to develop the habit of picky eating, which has also become one of the important causes of vitiligo in children. This is because long-term picky eating can lead to malnutrition or some kind of overnutrition, and the body is prone to lack of trace elements. The deficiency of trace elements will affect the synthesis of melanin, which will eventually cause vitiligo.
3. **Stimulation:Children are active and have a poor sense of self-protection. Trauma such as bruises, falls, and abrasions are prone to occur in life. If these wounds are not properly treated, they are prone to wound infection and irritation**, damaging melanocytes and inducing vitiligo.
4.Mental Factors:Today's children are academically heavy and stressful. Many children are often in a state of excessive tension and busyness, and cannot relax. This long-term high-pressure mental state is easy to affect the body's endocrine, thereby affecting the synthesis of melanin and inducing vitiligo.
Clinical data indicates:The incidence of vitiligo is showing a trend of low age, and more and more children are being affected. Parents don't have to worry too much about this. Early detection and early **, vitiligo is also relatively easy to recolor. In life, parents find that their children have vitiligo symptoms, and they should seek medical diagnosis in timeIt's a great time to catch early vitiligo**!
