Vitiligo is an extremely difficult skin disease to cure. Patients with vitiligo need to take good care of their skin. So, how does the skincare routine for vitiligo patients differ from others? Below, let's hear from vitiligo experts at the Third Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Shanxi College of Traditional Chinese Medicine about how vitiligo patients should clean their skin.
How Should Vitiligo Patients Clean Their Skin?
1. If there are fatty medications remaining on the skin surface, they can be wiped with plant oil. If powder or dressing dries and sticks tightly to the skin, it should first be moistened by applying gauze soaked in sterile isotonic saline until softened before being peeled off or wiped. If adhesive tape is stuck to the skin, cotton balls soaked in gasoline should be used to gently rub and remove it before cleaning the skin.
2. Maintain skin cleanliness: Cleansing the skin with warm water between 32-34°C is easier and won't cause imbalances in the secretion of skin oils and water. It also has a calming effect on the skin, which helps the skin rest and relieve fatigue.
3. When there is more purulent discharge on the affected area, first use hydrogen peroxide-soaked cotton balls to wipe it or use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution to wipe it, then apply appropriate topical medication and bandage with gauze. If the discharge is serous, wet dressings can be applied first or Huanglian oil can be directly applied.
4. If there is hair on the affected area, it should be cut off first before wiping or applying medicine.
5. If the epidermis of the affected area is crusted or the crust is adhered to the hair, medicine must not be applied directly onto the crust. Instead, non-irritating ointment should be applied to the crust and then bandaged. After 24 hours, the crust will soften and fall off. Then, the hair should be cut off, and medication should be applied according to the condition.
6. If pus blisters have formed on the affected area, disinfect the surrounding area with 75% alcohol first, then cut off the blister wall and apply medicine. If it is a large blister, after disinfection, cut the blister wall to release the liquid contents without completely removing the blister wall. If the large blister has already ruptured, the blister membrane can be removed, then apply medicine.
7. Avoid skin damage: Even minor skin injuries should be handled promptly to prevent secondary infections.
The above is an introduction by vitiligo experts from the Third Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Shanxi College of Traditional Chinese Medicine on how vitiligo patients should clean their skin. Vitiligo can significantly affect the physical and mental health of patients. For vitiligo patients, timely treatment is the guarantee for recovery.
