The hair from the skin may also become white. The inside of the mouth and nose may also be involved. Typically both sides of the body are affected. Often the patches begin on areas of skin that are exposed to the sun. It is more noticeable in people with dark skin. Vitiligo may result in psychological stress and those affected may be stigmatized.
1. Mechanism
308 excimer laser therapy combined the most advanced technologies together, such as 308nm XeCl excimer light source, 154 Hz nanometer modulation, the technology of liquid light source transmission, and etc.
According to the clinical researches, the light with 308nm wavelength is the best light that could induce the apoptosis of the pathological T-cell, and effective in the therapy of vitiligo, psoriasis and many other skin diseases. In the therapy of vitiligo, the laser directly radiated on the diseased area, and led the a serious of biochemical reactions to promote the synthesis of skin pigment (the melanin), thus achieve the goal of recover the vitiligo.

II. Light Energy + Conduction Therapy
Action Mechanism
The Light Energy + Conduction Therapy directly worked on the Shenque , Quchi and Neiguan acupoints on patient’s body. Those acupoints communicate with the twelve meridians of human body directly. The Light Energy + Conduction Therapy led the medicine permeate into the diseased area, thus increase the effect of Chinese traditional herbal medicine.
Through the effect of light energy, the therapy will transport the nutrition that necessary for melanophore (the cell that can synthesis the melanin) through the microcirculation, and recover the regular function of melanophore.
The therapy will recover the damaged melanophore, recall the activity of tyrosinase in serum, and reduce the period of treatments.

Light Energy + Conduction Therapy can achieve the goal to dredge the meridians of human body, regulate the internal organs and immunity system, promote the blood circulation and microcirculation, promote the re-pigment of disease area.

Vitiligo Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

Vitiligo occurs when the cells that produce melanin die or stop functioning. Vitiligo affects people of all skin types, but it may be more noticeable in people with darker skin. The condition is not life-threatening or contagious. It can be stressful or make you feel bad about yourself.

The main sign of vitiligo is patchy loss of skin color. Usually, the discoloration first shows on sun-exposed areas, such as the hands, feet, arms, face and lips.
Vitiligo signs include:
Patchy loss of skin color
Premature whitening or graying of the hair on your scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows or beard
Loss of color in the tissues that line the inside of your mouth and nose (mucous membranes)
Loss of or change in color of the inner layer of the eyeball (retina)
Causes
The exact causes of vitiligo are unclear. A number of factors may contribute.
These include:
an autoimmune disorder, in which the immune system becomes overactive and destroys the melanocytes
a genetic oxidative stress imbalance
a stressful event
harm to the skin due to a critical sunburn or cut
exposure to some chemicals
a neural cause
heredity, as it may run in families
a virus
Vitiligo is not contagious. One person cannot catch it from another.
Many treatments are available to help restore skin color or even out skin tone. Results vary and are unpredictable. Some treatments have serious side effects. So your doctor may suggest that you first try improving the appearance of your skin by applying self-tanning products or makeup.
No drug can stop the process of vitiligo — the loss of pigment cells (melanocytes). But some drugs, used alone or with light therapy, can help restore some skin tone.
Creams that control inflammation. Applying a corticosteroid cream to affected skin may help return color, particularly if you start using it early in the disease. You may not see a change in your skin's color for several months.

Surgery may be an option for you if light therapy doesn't work. Surgery can also be used with those therapies. The goal of the following techniques is to even out your skin tone by restoring color.

Skin grafting. In this procedure, your doctor removes very small sections of your normal, pigmented skin and attaches them to areas that have lost pigment. This procedure is sometimes used if you have small patches of vitiligo.

Vitiligo Diet:What Can i Eat With Vitiligo

If you or someone you know suffers from vitiligo, then you understand how traumatic, difficult to treat, and embarrassing this skin condition can be. It’s characterized by white irregular patches on different parts of the body. The most commonly affected areas include hands, face, neck, armpits, and legs. This disorder occurs when melanin-producing cells, melanocytes, are destroyed.

In most cases it begins with a small area that loses its pigment and then expands over time. Although there is no cure for this skin condition, it is possible to slow down or even stop the pigment loss. One essential remedy is to keep a vitiligo diet. This article will elaborate on what you need to eat and what you need to avoid.
Foods Rich in Vitamin B-12
Regular eating of foods with high amounts of vitamin B-12 may help relieve the symptoms of vitiligo. This is according to a research published in 2011 in the Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, which indicated that deficiency in vitamin B-12 increases homocysteine, a compound which plays a role in destroying pigment in some areas of the body. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you boost your intake of vitamin B-12 to help improve your condition. Examples of foods to take include liver, soy milk, salmon, yogurt, trout, clams, as well as haddock. You can also get the vitamin from meat, fish and some dairy products, but there are not recommended .
Foods Rich in Folic Acid
Studies have revealed that low levels of folate contribute to pigment loss. Therefore, increasing your intake of foods rich in folic acid can help manage the disease. Examples of foods to take include broccoli, spinach, asparagus, black-eyed peas, as well as breakfast cereals.
Additionally, broccoli and spinach contain phytochemicals that help lower homocysteine (a compound that destroys melanin) levels in the blood. As a result, these foods prevent cell degeneration and help protect the skin.
Also, consider adding oats to your vitiligo diet, if you’re not already taking them. Oats not only protect the skin but also improve digestion, thanks to its high amount of fiber.
Foods Rich in Zinc
Consuming foods with high amounts of zinc can also improve the condition. That is according to a study published in 2009 in the Indian Journal of Dermatology, which suggested that zinc supplementation can help cure vitiligo. Excellent sources of zinc include oysters, lobsters, crab, pork, chicken, nuts, as well as dried beans and peas.
Foods Rich in Vitamin C, Iron, Beta-carotene and Anti-oxidants

Foods high in vitamin C, iron, beta-carotene, and anti-oxidants are very good for you. The examples include spinach, carrots, tomatoes, kiwi, strawberries, cantaloupes, grapefruits, and potatoes among others. Make sure that you have a lot of tomatoes because tomatoes contain lycopene, a powerful anti-oxidant and excellent source of vitamin C. However, be careful not to overcook any of these food items, as it destroys their nutrients and power.

Through recover the melanophore with genetic chain dis-function, remove the reason cause melanophore metabolic disorders and die, make pathological melanophore recover its normal function. Through improving the microcirculation and increasing effectively blood perfusion around illness part, ensure the new melanophore autonomously move to vitiligo part evenly, make body can regeneration melanophore from itself, solve melanophore apoptosis from root,as result of stop vitiligo, reconversion skin, remission illness on long term.

Symptoms of Segmental, Focal Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a continual and long-term skin problem that produces patches of white depigmentation that develop and enlarge in certain sections of the skin.

Segmental or focal: White patches tend to be smaller and appear in one or a few areas. When vitiligo appears in a focal or segmental pattern, it tends to stay in one area one side of the body. Many times it continues for a year or so, then stops. It also progresses slower than generalized vitiligo.
Non-segmental or generalized: Widespread white patches appear symmetrically on both sides of the body. This is the most common pattern and can affect pigment cells anywhere on the body. If often starts and stops many times over the course of a person’s lifetime. There’s no way to determine when, if, or how fast patches will develop.
One study showed that 75 percent of people with vitiligo have loss of pigment on the hands and face. Other common areas are in body folds, like the skin under your arms and around your groin.

All parts of the body can occur, common in the back, wrist, forearm, face, neck and genitalia around. Female genitals can also occur, mostly young women.

First,Autoimmune
1, vitiligo patients with other autoimmune diseases and other autoimmune diseases in patients with vitiligo than the average person was significantly higher.
2, the patient can be detected in a variety of serum autoantibodies, and anti-melanocyte antibodies, the positive rate of 50-93%, and with the severity of the disease.
3, malignant melanoma patients with vitiligo was significantly higher than normal, a group of 450 patients with melanoma abroad, 29 cases (6.4%) with vitiligo.
4, vitiligo patients with cellular immunity and humoral immune abnormalities, such as changes in T cell subsets, soluble interleukin-2 receptor and some changes in cytokines.
5, vitiligo disease persistent chronic, in line with the general laws of autoimmune disease.
6, vitiligo not only affect the skin melanocytes, but also affect the eye, ear and other pigment cells.
7, some patients with the same shape positive.
8, the pathological changes in the white spot on the edge of the mononuclear cell aggregation, in line with late-type hypersensitivity, white margin of the epidermis Langerhard cells increased.
9, corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents effective.
Second, Melanocytes Own Damage
In the process of synthesis of melanin, the intermediate products such as dopa dopaquinone dopa pigment 5-6 dihydroxy indole and so on, are belong to the monophenol or polyphenolic compounds, the accumulation of phenols or produced Many of the melanocytes have selective cytotoxicity, can damage melanocytes.
Third, The Neurochemical Factors
Nerve endings release of chemical media such as norepinephrine, acetylcholine or other substances may have a damaging effect on melanocytes.
Fourth, Genetic Factors
Genetic factors and the incidence of the disease plays a certain relationship, according to reports at home and abroad 3-40% of patients with positive family history.
Five ,Other Causes
1, some drugs: such as anti-cholinesterase drugs, light-sensitive drugs, sulfur-based drugs, thyroxine, norepinephrine, vitamin A acid drugs, vitamin C,
2, mental factors, sun, trauma, surgery, friction, etc .;
3, wine and seafood;
4, after a variety of infectious diseases.
Six, Comprehensive Reasons

Vitiligo is a result of melanoma cells due to significant reduction or loss caused by skin, mucous membranes and hair pigmentation disease.

Can Psoralen tincture to Treat Vitiligo

Psoralen tincture is a common treatment of vitiligo drugs, if used properly can play a very good therapeutic effect, otherwise it may be side effects, and even exacerbations. Here is my experience for your reference.

① master the indications: psoralen tincture is mainly used for the scalp, trunk, limbs border clear white (white), if the border is not clear white generally do not;
② reasonable usage: must be psoralen tincture (note not "drop" up) in the central white, not the whole piece of white are wiped, because the psoralen tincture will spread out, if the whole piece of white are wiped It will infiltrate the surrounding normal skin, causing two consequences: white skin around the white, so that the white spot is more clear; white range expansion (isotype reaction). If the white spot is small, then use a toothpick (with scissors to cut its tip) on the drug, wipe the white central.
③ auxiliary light: pure wiping psoralen tincture if not combined light (daylight or NB-UVB), then there is no effect, so "wiping psoraline tincture + light" is a whole.
⑴ psoralen tincture + daylight: the general white (pure white) first psoriasis tincture, after 3-5 minutes, according to daylight, usually once a day. The length of the light depends on the strength of the sun, if the sun is strong, then the first 5-10 seconds, if the white spot is not red, then gradually extend the light time until the white hair; if the sun is weak, you can From 2-3 minutes, gradually extend the light time until the white spot redness. Then stop the sun exposure, local topical hormone ointment, 2 times a day until the erythema subsided, white and restore the original white, then began to use external psoraline tincture + sun exposure, so the cycle repeated.
Note: remember to wipe the psoralen tincture in the light after a long time exposure, it is likely to cause blisters !!!!!
⑵ psoralen tincture + NB-UVB: general white (white) first apply psoralen tincture, 3-5 minutes later, irradiation NB-UVB, every other day irradiation. The first day of exposure, irradiation time extended to 10 seconds; if not red, then the first 4 days without exposure, the first 5 days of exposure to the first day of the day, , The time extended to 15 seconds, and so on, until the white blood red, then stop NB-UVB irradiation, local topical hormone ointment, 2 times a day until the erythema subsided, white and restore the original white, then began to use psoralen tincture + NB-UVB irradiation, so the cycle repeated.

If some patients are very sensitive to psoralen tincture, wiping psoralen tincture in the weak light or irradiation NB-UVB 5 seconds from the blisters, this case will use alcohol or liquor (degrees limit ) Diluted with psoralen tincture and then diluted, according to the volume of dilution, such as a bottle of psoralen tincture plus 5 bottles of liquor or alcohol, diluted 5 times after the external use, if it is easy to blister, then diluted 10 times , 20 times and so on. If you can not afford blisters do not have to dilute.

Vitiligo Creams - What Are The Best Treatment for Vitiligo

If you have new white patches on your skin that do not cover a large area, your GP may prescribe a corticosteroid (steroid) cream. This can sometimes stop the spread of the patches, and may restore your original skin colour.

Vitiligo (vit-uh-lie-go) causes the skin to lose color. Patches of lighter skin appear. Some people develop a few patches. Others lose much more skin color.
A trial of topical 0.1% tacrolimus ointment was begun for the face and eyelids in each of these patients. Many vitiligo patients used 0.1% tacrolimus ointment on their white spots,vitiligo Patients were allowed unprotected (no sunscreen) natural sunlight exposure at midday: 5 minutes in the summer and 10 minutes in fall, winter, and spring. They were instructed to apply sunscreens of sun protection factor 30 or higher at all other times.
Medicine applied to the skin:
Several different topical (applied to the skin) medicines can repigment the skin.
Prescribed for small areas.
The most commonly prescribed medicine is a potent or super-potent topical corticosteroid. About half, 45 percent, of patients regain at least some skin color after 4 to 6 months.
A topical corticosteroid may be combined with another medicine to improve results.
Topical medicine works best in people with darkly pigmented skin.
Topical medicines are most effective on certain areas of the body, such as the face. They are least effective on the hands and feet.
Not all topical medicines should be used on the face.
Drawbacks: These medicines have possible side effects, so patients must be carefully monitored. A possible serious side effect of using of a topical corticosteroid for a year or longer is skin atrophy. This means the skin becomes paper thin, very dry and fragile.
