Why Does Vitiligo Worsen Over Time? Shijiazhuang's Authorized Vitiligo Treatment Hospital (YuanDa Vitiligo Hospital, Shijiazhuang, Hebei) Explains:Vitiligo is a common skin condition, yet among dermatological disorders, it is notably stubborn to treat. This is because vitiligo is highly susceptible to external stimuli that can trigger worsening symptoms, causing white patches to spread to other areas of the skin. Advanced vitiligo not only complicates subsequent treatment but also increases long-term medical costs. Therefore, it is advisable to promptly identify the causes of deterioration and adopt scientifically proven treatment methods to control the condition and pursue active therapy.So, why does vitiligo worsen?
1. Sun exposure. Sun exposure significantly contributes to vitiligo onset. Prolonged sunlight overexposure causes excessive depletion of melanocytes, leading to increased white patches. These patches are highly sensitive to sunlight, often becoming red and itchy upon exposure. In severe cases, blisters may form, accelerating disease progression.
2. Traumatic Injuries. Physical trauma is a contributing factor to vitiligo onset. While minor injuries are common in daily life, failure to address them promptly can disrupt melanocyte synthesis, thereby worsening the condition.
III. Improper Medication Use. Some individuals resort to blind medication after onset. Many vitiligo drugs can irritate white patches. Improper use not only fails to cure but may worsen the condition. Therefore, it is advisable to use medications under professional medical guidance.
