What should I pay attention to during the treatment of vitiligo?

vitiligoIt is a common acquired depigmentation disorder characterized by white patches on the skin. In addition to treatment methods such as medication or surgery, a reasonable adjustment of daily diet can also help to recover from the disease.

1. Avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods: such as chili peppers, peppercorns, garlic and other foods contain a large amount of capsaicin and volatile oils, which will promote blood circulation after entering the human body, and will also have a strong stimulating effect on the local area, which is not conducive to the improvement of the condition;

2. Eat less fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C: Because vitamin C has the effect of inhibiting melanin synthesis, if you consume too much, it may lead to aggravation or recurrence of the disease, so patients should try to eat tomatoes, kiwifruit, oranges and lemons and other fruits and vegetables with more vitamin C;

3. Eat less seafood: For example, crabs, fish and shrimp and other seafood are easy to cause allergic reactions, which will affect the body's metabolic function, and may even affect the normal efficacy of the drug, so it is necessary to properly control the intake of such foods;

4. Quit smoking and alcohol: Nicotine in tobacco will cause damage to blood vessels, slow down blood flow, thereby slowing down the speed of metabolism, and alcohol will affect the normal function of the liver, which will hinder the operation of the body's immune system, thereby reducing immunity, prolonging the course of the disease, and in severe cases, it may also lead to complications.

5. Pay attention to supplementing nutrients: you can eat more foods with high tyrosine and mineral elements, such as black sesame seeds, walnut kernels, animal offal and soy products, which can help improve your own resistance and help improve symptoms. At the same time, it is also necessary to maintain a good mood, do not have too much psychological pressure, and participate in outdoor activities to relax and unwind.
