What's the matter with the white spots on the neck

There is a large group of people in society today who are victims of skin diseases, and the diseases recur repeatedly and torture the patients. Of course, I am one of them. I am the type that is particularly prone to skin diseases. I have multiple skin diseases and they are all the kind that recur all year round and are very painful. I have to pay special attention to my diet and hygiene habits. For example, I have many common skin diseases such as protein allergy, ultraviolet allergy, dust allergy, etc. White spots on the neck are also a type of skin disease, but this disease is rare, so many people don’t know about it.

The main diseases that can cause persistent white spots are as follows:

1. Vitiligo: This disease is the most harmful. The onset of vitiligo is due to the influence of multiple factors that lead to abnormal function and loss of melanocytes, which ultimately leads to reduced melanin synthesis and loss, resulting in the appearance of white spots. The symptoms of white spots of vitiligo are obvious. The area of ​​the early symptoms of vitiligo ranges from the size of a grain of rice to the size of a hospital coin. The white spots are light in color and difficult to detect for patients with fair skin. After the white spots are obvious, the edges are often separated from normal skin. The surface of the white spots is smooth, without desquamation or scabs, and generally painless or itchy. However, the chance of itching in white spots caused by trauma, such as mosquito bites, is relatively high. After the white spots have been present for a period of time, they are likely to spread. Once this happens, it can be basically determined that the white spots are vitiligo. Vitiligo appears as white patches, but the degree of depigmentation can vary, and can appear as light white, milky white, cloud white and porcelain white. Generally speaking, the boundary between white spots and normal skin is clear, but if the white spots are in the progressive stage, the edges may appear blurred. In some cases, a diffuse halo with a color between normal skin and white spots may appear around the white spots.

Once the condition is confirmed, cooperate with the doctor for comprehensive treatment in a timely manner; do not blindly treat it on your own, so as not to miss the opportunity, cause serious development of the disease, and increase the difficulty of treatment.

2. Pityriasis alba: also known as worm spots, it is a common skin disease in children and can also occur in young and middle-aged people. The hypopigmentation is round or oval in shape, with clear boundaries and slightly raised edges. It is light red in the early stages and soon turns to light white. However, the hypopigmentation of the worm spots is incompletely depigmented, the surface is rough, and sometimes there are scales attached.

3. Tinea versicolor: also known as tinea versicolor, is a disease caused by fungal infection. The skin lesions are mainly pale white, round or oval, with blurred edges and often many fine scales on the surface. Patients often have subjective symptoms.
