A large number of clinical cases prove that long-term mental stress, anxiety and frequent bad mood will disturb human immune function, which is closely linked to the onset and deterioration of vitiligo.

When you stay under heavy pressure, your body’s immune balance will be broken, and the abnormal immune cells are more likely to attack melanocytes, slowing down melanin production and leading to bigger white patches or new lesions. Many patients report that their vitiligo got worse after a period of heavy work pressure or family worries.

Here are easy ways to stabilize your mood and protect your skin condition:

1. Take 20 minutes of light outdoor exercise every day, such as slow walking, to ease nervous emotions;

2. Keep a regular work and rest schedule, avoid staying up late which amplifies anxiety;

3. Talk with family or medical consultants about your troubles, do not hold negative feelings inside.

If you cannot adjust your mental state for a long time and your vitiligo keeps developing, you can consult our doctors to adjust your comprehensive treatment plan, combining physical conditioning with mental guidance.
