There are white spots on the elbow. It's very hot. Can I have a drink?

Patients with vitiligo should drink less carbonated drinks, which are not good for vitiligo and may also bring certain harm to patients:

1. Vitiligo patients may aggravate the condition of vitiligo if they drink more carbonated drinks. Vitiligo prohibits spicy and irritating foods in daily diet, and carbonated drinks are obviously irritating foods. Especially in summer, people often like to drink iced carbonated drinks. If patients with vitiligo drink iced carbonated drinks, it is likely to stimulate the condition of vitiligo and lead to aggravation.

Drinking more carbonated drinks will be harmful to patients' health. Most carbonated drinks now contain acidic substances such as carbonated water and citric acid, as well as sugar, spices, some caffeine, artificial colors and other substances. This kind of beverage contains no nutrients except sugar, which can replenish energy for human body, and some of them will bring harm to patients' health.

3. Carbonated drinks have high sugar content. If vitiligo patients drink too much, it will easily lead to excessive sugar intake, which will lead to diseases such as diabetes. Moreover, carbonated drinks contain a lot of phosphoric acid, so drinking carbonated drinks often may threaten the bone health of patients, because if patients consume a lot of phosphoric acid, it will affect the absorption of calcium by bones, resulting in calcium and phosphorus imbalance.
