Who is more likely to suffer from vitiligo?

There are many causes of vitiligo, which are divided into congenital factors and acquired factors. Among them, acquired factors are the main cause of vitiligo. Although there are no obvious age or gender restrictions on the onset of vitiligo, there are clearly susceptible groups because these people are often exposed to triggering factors. So. Who is more likely to suffer from vitiligo? The following is the answer from experts at Henan Union Medical College Hospital. I hope that after understanding it, you can effectively avoid the triggering factors and protect your health. People with a family genetic tendency are highly susceptible to vitiligo. Since vitiligo is caused by the presence of susceptibility genes in the body, people with a family history of vitiligo are more likely to develop vitiligo. One thing that needs to be explained here is that heredity does not necessarily lead to the onset of vitiligo, because the occurrence of vitiligo also requires the presence of acquired inducing factors, which is a joint disease-causing process. Therefore, people with genetic predisposition must take necessary measures to avoid the occurrence of vitiligo. People with poor immunity and physical fitness are prone to vitiligo. This is well understood. People with low physical fitness have obviously insufficient resistance to external pathogenic factors. A slight amount of adverse stimulation will lead to body diseases, and vitiligo is of course no exception. Therefore, people with poor physical fitness must strengthen physical exercise, eat properly, and get rid of bad habits to enhance their physical fitness. People who frequently work with chemicals. Long-term exposure to chemicals will first damage the skin, and secondly lead to damage to the functions of the internal organs. These reasons are all triggers of vitiligo. Clinical data show that workers in chemical plants and laboratory researchers are significantly more likely to develop vitiligo than ordinary people. In their daily work, these people need to take protective measures at all times to avoid prolonged exposure to chemicals. People with sensitive skin are prone to vitiligo. Being prone to allergies means that the skin's ability to resist external stimuli is obviously insufficient. At the same time, skin inflammation caused by allergies can also induce vitiligo to a large extent. This type of people must stay away from allergens in their daily lives. If allergic symptoms occur accidentally, they should be dealt with promptly and properly. The above is a brief summary of this issue. I hope that through the above introduction, friends can be more vigilant, take the initiative to prevent vitiligo in their lives, and try their best to eliminate the occurrence of vitiligo.
