Leukoplakia, also known as vitiligo, is a chronic skin disease, which is very common in life. The incidence of leukoplakia is relatively high, and there is no fixed standard for the age of onset, which may occur in people of any age. Patients should be examined and treated in time after onset to avoid increasing the difficulty of treatment after the illness gets worse? In addition to drug treatment, patients also need to supplement trace elements in the skin in time, which will be more helpful for the recovery of vitiligo.
The lack of trace elements in skin will lead to the dysfunction of melanocytes, and the degeneration and loss of melanin will form white spots. Therefore, patients must eat more foods rich in trace elements, such as kelp, seaweed, fish, shrimp, sea cucumber and wild mushrooms. In addition, they can eat more animal liver or pork, sesame, soybean, spinach, rapeseed, taro, beef, Chinese cabbage, radish, eggplant and so on. Auricularia auricula, pumpkin, millet, sweet potato, carrot and other foods all contain a variety of essential trace elements. Insisting on eating them is of great help to the recovery of vitiligo.
The human body needs many trace elements, such as vitamin B, vitamin A and vitamin C, as well as calcium, iron, zinc, selenium and copper. And different foods contain different trace elements. If you want to take a reasonable and balanced intake of trace elements needed by all kinds of skin, you must pay attention to maintaining good eating habits, not picky eaters and not dieting. In addition to diet conditioning, patients can also take some drugs to supplement trace elements, such as calcium tablets, or oral liquid to supplement iron and zinc. It is also very helpful to supplement trace elements.
Although patients with leukoplakia say that it is effective to supplement trace elements in the skin with food and drugs, daily medication is also essential, so patients must take drugs under the guidance of doctors, and at the same time, they need to strengthen physical exercise to enhance their physique, maintain a good mood, do not have too much mental pressure, and do a good job in cleaning and sanitation of the skin, which will help to cure leukoplakia more quickly and thoroughly.
In daily life, we should eat less spicy food such as wine, pepper, raw garlic, mutton, fish and shrimp, and eat less fruits rich in vitamin C such as oranges, oranges, grapefruit, kiwi fruit, tomatoes, hawthorn and bayberry. We should usually eat more foods containing tyrosine and minerals: meat (beef, rabbit meat and lean pork), animal liver and eggs (eggs, duck eggs and quail). Due to the lack of some trace metal elements in blood and leukoplakia, the tyrosinase activity in vitiligo patients decreases, which affects the synthesis and metabolism of melanin, resulting in lesions. Therefore, patients should eat more foods containing copper, zinc, iron and other metal elements to enhance tyrosinase activity and accelerate melanin synthesis.
