There are many health preserving methods in TCM, such as acupuncture and scraping. Scraping is based on the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, using special scraping instruments combined with specific techniques, and repeatedly scraping the surface of human skin with special medicinal liquor, so that the skin appears red or dark red bleeding spots and other "bursitis" phenomena.

Many people think that scraping can improve local microcirculation, relax tendons and activate collaterals, eliminate pathogenic factors and detoxify, and enhance human body's potential disease resistance and immune function. Others say that scraping is good for blood detoxification and treatment of vitiligo. Is it true?/You don't say.

Although scraping has many benefits, it can't cure vitiligo. Scraping is not standardized, and it may cause diffusion! Patients are not advised to try it themselves. Please see below for specific reasons!

Easy to cause skin damage

Vitiligo is a depigmentation disease of skin, with melanin deficiency, endocrine disorder of superficial skin tissue and immune dysfunction. Compared with normal skin, the skin in leukoplakia area is very fragile, so it should be carefully cared to avoid external stimulation. Scraping is very irritating to the skin, which may cause skin damage at the white spot. The white spot is slightly damaged, and the homomorphic reaction leads to the spread of the white spot.

The method of stimulating diffusion is incorrect.

Scraping has strict requirements on direction, time, technique, intensity, indications and contraindications. If it is not handled properly, it is easy to cause discomfort or even aggravate the condition, so it should be operated in strict accordance with the operating specifications or doctor's advice, and it is not allowed to operate at home at will.

Scraping will rupture tiny blood vessels on the skin surface, resulting in a unique red or purple bruise called sand.

Compared with normal skin, the skin in white spot is very fragile, so it should be carefully cared to avoid external stimulation. When scraping, the subcutaneous capillaries will rupture and bleed during scraping, which will irritate the skin and destroy the skin environment, and the condition is likely to get worse.

It is good for vitiligo patients to pay attention to their condition, but at the same time, they should also pay attention to treatment methods. The cause of vitiligo is complicated, so it can't be treated blindly! Correct treatment can help patients get rid of the disease as soon as possible, but wrong treatment may further worsen the condition until it is out of control.
