Vitiligo is an extremely difficult skin disease to cure. Patients with vitiligo need to take good care of their skin. So, what are the differences between how vitiligo patients care for their skin and how others do? Below, please allow the vitiligo experts from the Third Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Shanxi Medical College to explain how vitiligo patients can clean their skin.
How do vitiligo patients clean their skin?
1. If there are fatty drugs remaining on the surface of the skin, they can be wiped with vegetable oil. If powdered medicine or bandages dry and stick tightly to the skin, gauze soaked in sterile isotonic saline should be applied first until the dryness softens before peeling off or wiping. If adhesive tape is stuck to the skin, cotton balls soaked in gasoline should be used to gently wipe it off before cleaning the skin.
2. Maintain skin cleanliness: It’s easier to clean the skin using warm water at a temperature of 32-34°C. This won't cause imbalance in the secretion of oil and water on the skin, and has a calming effect on the skin, which helps the skin rest and relieve fatigue.
3. When there is a large amount of purulent secretion on the surface of the affected area, hydrogen peroxide-soaked cotton balls should be used to clean or use potassium permanganate solution (1:5000) to clean, then apply appropriate external medicine and wrap with gauze. If the secretion on the affected area is serous, wet dressing can be done first or directly apply coptis oil.
4. Hair in the affected area should be cut first before cleaning or applying medicine.
5. When the epidermis of the affected area forms scabs or scabs stick to the hair, medicine must not be applied directly on the scab. Instead, non-irritating ointment can be applied on the scab and then wrapped. After 24 hours, remove the scab when it softens, cut the hair, and then apply medicine according to the condition.
6. When pus blisters have formed on the affected area, disinfect the surrounding area with 75% alcohol first, then cut the blister wall and apply medicine. For large blisters, after disinfection, cut the blister wall to release the liquid content without completely removing the blister wall. If the large blister has ruptured, the blister membrane can be cut off, then apply medicine.
7. Avoid skin damage: Even minor skin injuries should be dealt with promptly to prevent secondary infections.
The above is an introduction by vitiligo experts from the Third Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Shanxi Medical College on how vitiligo patients can clean their skin. Vitiligo has a significant impact on the physical and mental health of patients. For vitiligo patients, timely treatment is the guarantee for recovery.
