There is a white peak on my face

There is a joke that goes like this: It doesn’t matter to me where the white peak is. The answer is that it grows on the waist or on someone else’s face. But not everyone is so lucky in real life. If you happen to be the one with white spots on your face, and you attach great importance to your appearance and care about other people's opinions, then you have to find a way to solve it. Let’s learn about the issues related to Bai Dianfeng below.

When parts of the human face are unevenly pigmented, white spots will gradually appear on the skin, which then gradually become diffuse patches and spread. The skin lesions are localized desquamative spots of varying sizes, such as porcelain white, with clear borders and darker edge pigmentation than normal skin color. New lesions are often surrounded by temporary inflammatory halos. The lesions may be single or multiple and may merge into patches. The white spots vary in size and shape, and the hair in the affected area may turn white. Generally there are no conscious symptoms and it can occur in any part of the body, most commonly on the back of the fingers, wrists, forearms, face, neck, perineum, and around the external genitalia. It can be distributed symmetrically or unilaterally along the nerve, in segmental or band-like manner. There are two types: complete and incomplete. The former reacts negatively to dihydroxyphenylalanine, melanocytes disappear, and the treatment response is poor. The latter reacts positively to DOPA, the number of melanocytes decreases, and the chance of cure is high.

Facial vitiligo is clinically divided into two stages: the progressive stage and the stable stage. The so-called progressive stage means that the white spots continue to expand, and new white spots appear, and the isomorphic reaction is positive. The stable period means that the white spots stop developing, the boundaries are clear, and the pigmentation at the edges of the white spots deepens. The face is one of the parts of the body that are susceptible to vitiligo. According to clinical studies, about 60% of vitiligo patients suffer from vitiligo on their face. However, the face is an important part of a person's appearance. If white spots grow on the face, especially on young men and women who are in the marriage stage, the impact on the patient can be fatal.

Symptoms of facial vitiligo

The face is probably the only part of the human body that is exposed to the air all year round. As summer approaches and temperatures rise, the sun shines longer and longer and becomes stronger. The skin on the face is exposed to sunlight all year round. If it is exposed in the summer, the function of melanocytes will become more hyperactive, and their consumption and premature aging will also accelerate. In addition, exposure to the sun may cause melanocytes to synthesize a large amount of melanin intermediates, which in turn damages the melanocytes and induces white spots.
