Health tips: vitiligo is a common skin disease, patients do not have any special feeling, just in the skin suddenly appear irregular white spots, sometimes white spots where hair will turn white.
In summer, the skin with leukoplakia is often red or burning after being blocked by the sun. This is mainly due to the lack of melanin protection of the skin lesions. Sometimes a small number of white spots will disappear and return to normal skin color.
The synthesis of melanin is inseparable from tyrosine and tyrosinase, the lack of both can not synthesize melanin, the skin will be white. Tyrosine is taken from food. Although tyrosinase is synthesized in human body, its activity is related to some metal elements, such as copper, zinc, iron, etc. when the body lacks these elements, the activity of tyrosinase will be reduced, which will affect the metabolism of melanin and cause pathological changes.
In order to cooperate with the treatment, vitiligo patients should eat more foods rich in tyrosine and minerals, such as lean meat, eggs, viscera of various animals (liver, kidney, etc.), milk, fresh vegetables, beans and bean products, peanut, black sesame, walnut, etc.
