What influence does summer have on vitiligo, and how should it be treated systematically?

There are many influences on vitiligo in summer

1. The intense ultraviolet rays in summer will damage melanocytes and make them lose the ability to produce melanin. White spots will spread easily and new white spots will appear. Therefore, avoid going out in the summer when the sun is strong. Before going out, you should apply sunscreen, wear a sun-protective clothing, wear a sun hat and so on.

2. The high temperature in summer makes people sweat too much. It will affect the effect of topical drugs, and excessive exercise and sweating should be avoided in summer.

3. People's emotions, moods and behaviors are closely related to the changes of seasons. In hot summer, many patients with vitiligo will have abnormal emotions, moods and behaviors, especially some patients will have psychological heatstroke, and the influence of emotions on vitiligo symptoms can not be ignored. You can improve your mood and relax by reading and listening to music.

4. In summer, leukoplakia will be exposed more, which will bring a serious blow to patients' confidence. You can cover the leukoplakia appropriately, such as using a mask cream or applying a mask of vitiligo to help patients regain their self-confidence and get rid of their inferiority complex.

5. The hot weather in summer will lead to the decline of sleep quality, which will lead to the decline of immunity and the increase of endocrine, which will cause electrolyte metabolism disorder. Therefore, patients should pay attention to the adjustment of sleeping environment and eating habits in their lives.
