In fact, it is an illusion that the white spots become lighter in autumn and winter. The reason why white spots are white in summer is that the sun is strong and the normal skin becomes darker after sun exposure. Normal skin is particularly white against white spots, but it is just the opposite in autumn and winter. In autumn and winter, everyone's skin color gradually becomes lighter, and the contrast with white spots is not obvious. Let everyone mistakenly think that leukoplakia has become lighter, so they choose to stop treatment.
In fact, autumn and winter is a good season to treat vitiligo.
From the perspective of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine pays attention to treating winter diseases in summer. The theory of "nourishing yang in spring and summer, nourishing yin in autumn and winter" mentioned in Huangdi Neijing, an ancient book of traditional Chinese medicine, is suitable for chronic diseases with symptoms of heavy summer and light winter. Pay attention to moistening dryness and nourishing yin in autumn and winter, so that yin and yang can be harmonized in spring and summer, and the original disease symptoms will be alleviated or even disappeared. Huahai reminded that vitiligo is a disease that is prone to onset or aggravation in spring and summer, and it is suitable for diagnosis and treatment in autumn and winter. Insisting on autumn and winter treatment laid a solid foundation for achieving good curative effect in the next spring.
