Why is vitiligo prone to recurrence and spread in summer

The main reasons for the recurrence and spread of vitiligo in summer include ultraviolet radiation, improper diet, and bad lifestyle habits.

1. Reasons

1. Ultraviolet radiation: In summer, the sun is strong, and the patient's skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long time, which will cause damage to melanocytes, which will lead to aggravation of the disease. Therefore, it is recommended that patients take sunscreen measures when going out, such as applying sunscreen and wearing sun-protective clothing.

2. Improper diet: If the patient eats a large amount of spicy and irritating foods in summer, such as chili pepper and pepper, it may cause irritation to the affected area, which will affect the recovery of the disease.Therefore, patients are advised to maintain a light diet and avoid the above foods.

3. Bad lifestyle habits: If patients often stay up late or overwork in summer, it will affect the body's immunity and is not conducive to disease control. If the patient does not pay attention to personal hygiene, it may also increase the risk of bacterial infection, which can lead to exacerbation.

2. Treatment

For vitiligo patients, it is necessary to pay attention to protecting their skin in daily life and avoid trauma or sun exposure, so as not to cause homomorphic reactions and lead to the expansion of vitiligo. At the same time, we should also pay attention to adjusting our mentality, do not give yourself too much psychological burden, actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment, take the medicine on time and in accordance with the doctor's instructions, and go to the hospital for regular follow-up visits in order to understand the development of the disease.
