Vitiligo is a common autoimmune disease, which is mainly manifested in white spots caused by lack of skin pigment. The severity of the disease mainly includes the lesions, plaques area, and color contrast. The right to judge the disease is very important for patients' treatment and rehabilitation. So, how to judge the severity of vitiligo?

The first is the lesion site. Generally speaking, vitiligo can occur in all parts of the body, but the lesions of the head, facial, neck, hands, and feet usually bring greater psychological pressure and social discrimination to patients. Therefore, if the lesions are involved in these parts, they need to attract more attention and attention.

Followed by plaque area. By observing the area of vitiligo plaques to judge the severity of the disease. Generally speaking, the larger the plaques, the more serious the condition, and the changes in the appearance of patients may be more obvious. And some mild vitiligo may only have a small amount of plaques with a small area, and the condition is relatively mild.

Once again, color contrast. The contrast between the color of vitiligo plaque and normal skin is also an important indicator of the severity of the disease. If the color of the white spots is very obvious and the surrounding normal skin is very high, the condition may be relatively heavy. On the contrary, low color contrast white spots may be slightly vitiligo.

There is also the stability of the disease. The stability of vitiligo also affects the severity of the disease. If the patient's white spots continue to diffuse and there is no stable state, the condition may be serious. And if the white spots are stable and no longer spread for a long time, the condition is generally considered to be relatively mild.

Finally, accompanied by symptoms. Vitiligo may be accompanied by symptoms such as itching and burning pain during the onset, and it may also be accompanied by abnormalities of the overall immune function. With the severity of the symptoms, it can reflect the severity of the disease.

In short, judging the severity of vitiligo needs to consider the lesions, plaques area, color contrast, course stability, and accompanying symptoms. However, it is important to emphasize that the most important thing for the severity of vitiligo is to seek help and consultation from professional doctors. Doctors will formulate a suitable treatment plan based on the comprehensive assessment of the condition, help patients manage and treat vitiligo, and improve the quality of life.
