Can vitiligo patients take medicine to improve their immunity?
Hello! It is often heard that patients want to buy some health care products or drugs that can enhance immunity. According to the clinical research of vitiligo in recent twenty years, it is not appropriate to do so, and it is a waste of money. I'm worried that eating this food or medicine will aggravate the development of vitiligo! ! ! 1. Theoretically, the causes of vitiligo are complicated, including autoimmune theory, melanocyte self-destruction theory, neurotransmitter theory and genetic theory. At present, it is gradually recognized at home and abroad that vitiligo autoimmune theory is dominant. In other words, most vitiligo is an autoimmune disease. There is autoimmune destruction, which is related to cellular immunity, especially T cell overactivation. It is also related to abnormal excessive humoral autoimmune antibodies. Theoretical analysis: If you eat health care products or drugs (thymosin, polyoxin? Pidotimod (part of Tibetan medicine), improving immunity, especially the activity of T lymphocytes, is likely to aggravate the autoimmune damage of vitiligo!

Second, immunosuppressants such as hormones are commonly used in clinical work to treat vitiligo, and the effect is reliable.

Thirdly, we often see that vitiligo patients can't control the development of leukoplakia, and there are often immune enhancers in the treatment plan. The more patients are treated, the more their condition develops and the worse their treatment is. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with vitiligo should not eat foods and drugs that enhance immunity. Spend limited money to find the right treatment.
