Since the occurrence of vitiligo is not fixed, it can happen on various parts of the human body. In general, it commonly occurs on the face, neck, and back, but some patients may also experience it on their legs. Do you understand leg vitiligo? Below, a vitiligo expert from the Third Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Shanxi Medical College will explain the characteristics of leg vitiligo.
Characteristics of Leg Vitiligo
Leg vitiligo is a common skin disease characterized by recurrence and diffusion. Although it is not an incurable disease, the course of leg vitiligo is slow, making treatment relatively difficult, causing significant impact on the patient's life, study, work, travel, and employment.
So, what are the symptoms of leg vitiligo? Our hospital's experts point out that in the early stages of leg vitiligo, the number of white spots is uncertain, mostly nail to coin-sized, nearly round or oval shapes, expanding or merging into irregular large patches. Regardless of how the shape changes, the edges of the leg white spots are always visible, with islands of pigmentation within the white spots; another typical type of white spot is belt-like or cord-like depigmented spots distributed along the nerves, with edges as neatly cut as by a knife. Leg white spots may be limited to certain parts of the body or distributed according to certain nerve segments. The later symptoms of leg vitiligo gradually increase and expand, adjacent white spots can merge and form irregular large patches.
The above is an introduction to the characteristics of leg vitiligo by the vitiligo experts from the Third Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Shanxi Medical College. This disease has a great impact on the physical and mental health of patients. For vitiligo patients, timely treatment is a guarantee for recovery.
