Will vitiligo be inherited by the next generation? How to avoid vitiligo

Vitiligo is a skin disease. The main manifestation is that the skin color of some parts of the body is abnormal, forming white patches. This is due to the disappearance of the function of melanocytes in the skin. Vitiligo is not contagious, but there is a certain chance of inheritance. However, if it is prevented, it can still be avoided from being passed on to the next generation.

Will white scar disease be inherited by the next generation?

Vitiligo is hereditary, with a heritability of 3% to 7%.

The chance of vitiligo being inherited is very low and will not pose a threat, but if a patient is completely cured of the disease, then you should consider the child's problem to see if the child is sick and take good care of the skin, just in case, to ensure that the child can avoid inheriting vitiligo.

If both parents are patients with vitiligo, the chance of their children suffering from vitiligo is slightly higher than that of ordinary people. Vitiligo has a family tendency, but heredity is not the only cause of vitiligo. It is recommended that patients with vitiligo do not look for a partner with vitiligo. If both parents are patients, the inheritance rate may increase, and it is very likely that the child will get sick. At the same time, attention should also be paid to the threats of the external environment, such as lifestyle, learning environment, work environment, mental state and physical condition, air, water source, etc.

There is another type of patient whose disease is caused by trauma, improper diet, endocrine disorders and other symptoms, which will bring a lot of harm to the patient's life, so in daily care, you must do a good job of nursing, so that vitiligo can be effectively treated. In life, you must protect your skin well. The cause of vitiligo is not only genetic factors, so you must pay attention to it in normal times and always prevent vitiligo symptoms, so as to effectively reduce the incidence rate.

How to avoid vitiligo

① Clothes

Clothes should be soft and comfortable. Clothes that are too small, too tight, or hard in texture will cause compression on blood vessels and cause microcirculation disorders over time. In addition, long-term skin friction will affect the normal metabolism of melanin, causing melanin loss and inducing vitiligo. This is why some people have vitiligo around their waists (the belt is too tight).

② Food

Being picky about food and partiality in eating can easily lead to unbalanced nutrition, insufficient supplementation of trace elements needed by the human body, lack of tyrosinase, low immunity of the human body, and easily induce diseases, including vitiligo. On the contrary, a balanced diet, a reasonable diet, and supplementation of a variety of nutrients can build up a strong immune system of the human body to resist diseases.

③ Accommodation

A clean and sanitary living environment can help prevent infection from germs, avoid the invasion of epidemic diseases, and avoid factors that induce vitiligo. On the contrary, a dirty and poor living environment can easily make people infected by exogenous germs, and in the long run, diseases can be easily induced.

④ Line

When traveling, you should protect yourself from the sun, avoid trauma, exercise moderately, and be careful not to get wet in the rain. These external factors may induce or aggravate vitiligo. Excessive ultraviolet radiation, skin lesions, traumatic infection, and untimely treatment are all inducing factors. Knowing them early can help prevent them.

⑤ Heart

This refers to psychological and emotional problems. Various psychological problems such as a bad mentality, negative emotions, depression, pessimism, autism and introversion affect hormone secretion, which in turn affects the body's immune system, posing a threat to the internal environment of melanin synthesis and are potential inducing factors.

What should patients with vitiligo pay attention to in their diet?

Every meal should be balanced with a balanced diet and a reasonable diet. Do not maintain a fixed diet for a long time, change the recipe frequently to make the nutrients more balanced, and remember not to eat foods that are richer than vitamin C.

In the diet, remember not to eat too spicy food, and avoid "irritating foods". Because generally spicy food and irritating foods are very irritating, and some people have sensitive skin, if they are used too much, it will irritate the skin. Such as onions, garlic, fish, shrimp, mutton, crabs, etc.
