White spots on the skin of various forms most often indicate a disease called vitiligo. The name comes from the Latin word "vitilus", which means "calf". The disease has been known since ancient times, its first description is found on ancient Egyptian papyrus. As a separate disease, it was isolated only in 1842, before that its manifestations were associated with leprosy. According to statistical studies, approximately 8% of the world's population suffers from vitiligo. White spots on the skin appear most often at a young age, sometimes even in children and newborns. In recent years, an increase in the number of diseases has been recorded, and this fact has not yet been explained.
White spots on the back, abdomen and other various parts of the body are formed due to the fact that skin cells stop producing fully or partially coloring pigment melanin. Why this happens, what disorders in the body lead to vitiligo, official medicine cannot explain completely. Since this disease is not contagious and its harm to the body as a whole has not been proved, in our time insufficient attention is paid to research to determine the causes of its occurrence. In fact, vitiligo is a serious illness from a psycho-emotional point of view. After all, white spots on the skin are not only an unaesthetic cosmetic defect, but also clearly indicate the presence of disorders in the body.
Most often, assumptions are made about the viral origin of the disease. Sometimes white spots on the skin are classified as lichen.
Recently, the cause of vitiligo began to be considered a violation in the human immune system. Of the external factors that can provoke the development of vitiligo, stresses, trauma to the skin, and sunburn are highlighted. White spots on the back and other parts of the body can occur with various internal infections. Despite the fact that vitiligo is sometimes associated with diseases of the thyroid gland and liver, neither statistical nor medical studies have yet confirmed this fact. Similarly, the reliability of transmission of the disease by inheritance has not been established, although there have been recorded cases of “nepotism” of vitiligo.
Outlined white spots on the legs, arms and other parts of the body make it easy to visually diagnose the disease. Getting rid of vitiligo is difficult, but possible. Many factors that contribute to the manifestation of white spots determine the implementation of complex procedures in the treatment.
The direct effect on white spots on the legs, arms and other parts of the body is carried out with special gels and creams that help restore melanin in the skin and prevent the spread of the disease. These are French drugs, such as gel and Vitix tablets. Tablets, in addition to the active substances for the recovery of melanin, are enriched with trace elements and vitamins, which are recommended to be included in the complex of therapeutic agents. In addition, being biologically active, they help relieve stress and prevent the occurrence of chronic fatigue syndrome.
People who have visited the Dead Sea in Israel successfully get rid of the external signs of vitiligo. This unique natural hospital helps to get rid of many skin diseases, and in the case of vitiligo, the disappearance of spots is recorded in 90% of vacationers.
As a cosmetic product that allows you to mask skin defects, you can use the gel corrector from the Vitix group - "Vetikolor".
In addition to vitiligo, a skin infectious disease such as lichen can also provoke the appearance of white spots. This disease can be cured and often manifests itself under the influence of sunlight. Therefore, you should not, having seen a white spot on the skin, independently diagnose yourself and claim that you are sick with vitiligo. The final diagnosis can only be made by a doctor, he will prescribe the right treatment.
