Can pediatric vitiligo in Hanzhong be treated with traditional Chinese medicine?
Answer
Hello, I’m glad to assist you. There are various treatment methods for vitiligo, and it is recommended that you identify the cause before undergoing treatment. Vitiligo is a localized or generalized hypopigmented skin disorder caused by a decrease or absence of tyrosinase activity in melanocytes within the skin and hair follicles, leading to a progressive reduction or disappearance of melanin production. The disease primarily involves the loss of melanin and has multiple triggers, including stress, emergency situations, trauma, decreased immunity, endocrine disorders, relative deficiencies of tyrosine and copper ions, genetics, and infection. In addition, strengthening daily care is also important. It is advisable to eat fewer spicy and irritating foods and fruits rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, kiwis, tomatoes, etc. It is beneficial to consume more peanuts, walnuts, soy products, and animal livers for the condition.
