Well, which of us does not like to bask in the sun ?! Probably, such people, if they exist, are in very small numbers. Summer is the time of bronze tans that look so beautiful on the skin and attract the attention of the opposite sex. But problems also happen - instead of an even brown color, light spots appear on the skin. What is it? We will sort it out together.
In fact, there may be several reasons. The first and most basic is the low level of melamine, which is responsible for the color accompaniment of the skin, iris of the eye and hair. This pigment is actively involved in protecting the skin from ultraviolet rays, and when it is lacking, bright spots appear on the skin, the photos of which you see here. But we ourselves can lose melamine - when the top layer of the skin comes off when it burns in the sun , the protection disappears along with it. Therefore, carefully monitor the process of sunbathing.
There is another reason that causes light spots on the skin. This is a lack of nutrients in the body that can occur in girls with prolonged diets and restricting themselves in food. Proteins, vitamins and calcium, which are ingested with food, are important components of a healthy skin condition. A decrease in the level of essential substances makes the cells depleted. The skin becomes dry and light spots appear on the skin.
Prolonged exposure to the active sun can cause deep burns, as a result of which vitiligo disease develops in some cases. Because of this, the production of melamine, the pigment that is responsible for the uniformity of the color of our skin, is sharply reduced in many places inside the skin. As a result of this, the so-called leopard color appears. Light spots on the skin with vitiligo can appear in various parts of the body, not even exposed to sunlight.
Another reason is a fungal infection, the appearance of which is associated with active sweating. People prone to such manifestations should be very careful to keep their skin dry. In principle, both prevention and treatment in this case will be reduced to the use of antifungal ointments and drugs that reduce perspiration.
Whatever the reasons for causing light spots to appear on the skin of the back or other parts of the body, in any case it is a very unpleasant disease that causes moral trauma.
In both men and women, vitiligo occurs equally, and the lesion most often occurs at a fairly young age - up to twenty years.
Treatment is possible, and even more with a positive result. But, as with any disease, the more intensively the treatment is undertaken, the easier and more effective this process will be. However, it is not often possible to completely reduce light spots on the skin, sometimes they decrease in size and darken a little, but not always. Do not despair, you should still try all the methods that a qualified specialist will offer you, and what if you are part of that small group of patients who are in complete remission? And a little advice to relatives and friends - people with vitiligo simply need psychological support that you can give them in full.
