Well, who among us does not like to bask in the sun?! Probably, such people, if they exist, are in very small numbers. Summer is the time for bronze tans that look so beautiful on the skin and attract the attention of the opposite sex. But problems also happen - instead of an even brown color, light spots appear on the skin. What's this? Let's figure it out together.
In fact, there may be several reasons. The first and most basic is the low level of melamine, which is responsible for the color accompaniment of the skin, iris and hair. This pigment is actively involved in protecting the skin from ultraviolet rays, and with a shortage of it, light spots appear on the skin, the photo of which you see here. But we ourselves can also lose melamine - when the top layer of the skin comes off during sunburn, the protection disappears along with it. Therefore, watch the tanning process very carefully.
There is another reason that causes light spots on the skin. This is a lack of usefulsubstances in the body, which can occur in girls with long-term diets and limiting oneself in food. Proteins, vitamins and calcium, which enter the body with food, are important components of a he althy skin condition. A decrease in the level of essential substances makes the cells depleted. The skin becomes dry and light spots appear on the skin.
Prolonged exposure to the active sun can cause deep burns, resulting in vitiligo in some cases. Because of this, inside the skin in many places, the production of melamine, the pigment that is responsible for the uniformity of the color of our skin, is sharply reduced. As a result, the so-called leopard color appears. Light spots on the skin with vitiligo can appear in a variety of places on the body, even not exposed to sunlight.
Another reason is a fungal infection, the appearance of which is associated with active sweating. People prone to such manifestations must be very careful to keep the skin dry. In principle, both prevention and treatment in this case will be reduced to the use of antifungal ointments and drugs that reduce sweating.
Whatever the reasons for the appearance of light spots on the skin of the back or other parts of the body, in any case, this is a very unpleasant disease that causes moral trauma.
Both men and women vitiligo occurs equally, andthe defeat most often occurs at a fairly young age - before twenty years.
Treatment is possible, and even more with a positive result. But, as with any disease, the more intensive the treatment, the easier and more effective this process will be. However, it is not often possible to completely reduce light spots on the skin, sometimes they decrease in size and darken a little, but not always. Do not despair, you should still try all the methods that a qualified specialist will offer you, and what if you are one of the small group of patients who can complete remission? And a little advice for relatives and friends - people with vitiligo simply need psychological support that you can give them to the fullest.
