How can I spend less money on my journey to treat vitiligo?

I got vitiligo in May last year, initially only the two sides of the neck, go to the city hospital dermatology examination prescribed 2 topical drugs cost a total of more than 300 yuan, with 2 months completely ineffective. I have to take ultraviolet light twice a week, the effect of how the doctor does not make any promises, ask a few acquaintances to give up. After 9 months of experience in fighting the disease I think:

1, do not be superstitious big hospital especially what vitiligo specialist hospital, the so-called vitiligo specialist hospital is basically a private joint venture open. To see the word of mouth, to see a familiar person to see well, the current clinic waiting for Jane patient treatment effect, if the effect is very poor grasp change place.

2, do not easily implant skin, treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Since it is confined to a certain place without spreading, it can be treated slowly.

3, do not rush to the doctor. Other people say what the prescription on their own to try, first to ensure that the formula is safe and non-toxic, and then identify the use of evidence. Some mild remedies can be used, such as using the white juice of figs to smear the affected area, eating figs is good. I have seen good smearing with this method. Another example is moxibustion on the affected area, I thought moxibustion was not good for health care. Moxibustion half a month to see the effect of the neck side of the small area of about 2 the more on the good, but unfortunately I was distributed, and then one after another in other parts of the new hair. I don't want to be superstitious about experts, so I gave myself a soup and medicine, and the new white spots on my body subsided quite a bit, and so far there have been no new ones. Some dietary remedies, such as drinking black sesame powder, can be drunk if you are sure you have kidney water deficiency.



4, do not have bad emotions, it is easy to spread. Avoid eating alcohol, seafood, and eat less high Vc food.

The 2nd picture is from January and the 3rd picture is just taken. Feel free to share and stay tuned.

First of all, the treatment of vitiligo needs to follow scientific treatment, early detection and early treatment.

There are many treatment options for vitiligo. Mainly can be divided into: instruments, drugs, injections, fumigation, melanocyte implantation therapy, 308nm excimer laser treatment, 311 narrow-spectrum ultraviolet treatment.

Vitiligo treatment is all about targeting the treatment after identifying the specific cause of the disease.

You need to pay attention to the following two points: do not try the prescription indiscriminately and do not believe in any package cure.

First of all, for the prescription, we do not deny that some people use the prescription to cure vitiligo, but we do not know whether there is a relapse in the later stage, and the prescription has no scientific verification, there will be errors in the delivery process, and everyone's machine is not the same, it is not recommended to treat blindly.

For the package, the state physician law expressly provides that no medical unit is not allowed to guarantee the effectiveness of treatment to the patient, before a lot of private hospitals playing the package of claims to pull patients this last year has been exposed by CCTV.

Vitiligo belongs to the skin disease, in fact, vitiligo is just a symptom, is the body to tell you, I seriously lack of nutrients, suffer from vitiligo patients, the initial stage can be completely through the change in the past the wrong way of life, balanced nutrition, proper exercise, good mood, adequate sleep, and then supplemented with vitamin B complex and vitamin ACE, to help the skin to restore the state of health, of course, as time passes, the quantity of change causes quality, the degree of skin whitening is more and more serious, it is difficult to restore the skin. Of course, with the passage of time, quantitative changes cause qualitative changes, the degree of skin whitening is becoming more and more serious, it is very difficult to undo it.

Ask any dermatologist and they say it's very difficult! If you ask them how much they can cure it! Very few doctors give you a positive answer!

Each vitiligo patient's cause, duration of illness, age, physical condition are different, so in the choice of white program is not the same, most of the vitiligo patients are very easy to enter a misunderstanding is: to see what other people with what white program to cure vitiligo on the body, their own will be copied over the use of this practice is not to be taken, because suitable for other people's method is not necessarily suitable for you, if the Patients want to treat vitiligo at the same time, less money, less wrong way then how should we do it?

1. once found vitiligo should be timely to the hospital for treatment


The initial stage of vitiligo is the golden period of treatment, the melanin at the white spots has not completely disappeared, therefore, timely treatment is a better choice to treat vitiligo as early as possible.


2. Don't choose to be treated in small clinics and hospitals just because you're afraid to spend money.

Vitiligo treatment costs have always been a concern for patients, in fact, professional hospitals specializing in vitiligo treatment costs transparent, fair, just and open, patients do not have to worry. If the patient chooses some community clinic or general hospital treatment, it will lead to the cause of the white spot detection is not accurate, can not be the right medicine, on the one hand, more money, on the other hand the diagnosis and treatment effect is not obvious, serious cases may aggravate the condition, delay treatment, spend more.


3. Don't change treatments frequently and don't stick to them for a long time

Some patients due to its pathology stubborn, so the treatment process will be longer, but patients if frequent replacement of treatment methods, then it is easy to lead to drug resistance reaction between the drugs, and the emergence of drug resistance reaction, will lead to the phenomenon of disease proliferation, once the proliferation of the patient's external image will bring more harm, will directly affect the patient's appearance. So vitiligo patients in the treatment period must not change their own therapy, so as not to lead to the proliferation of the disease and bring more harm to their appearance, and vitiligo is a stubborn disease, the need for long-term persistence of the patient, so the patient's treatment of vitiligo must maintain patience, so as to facilitate the treatment of vitiligo, to reduce the cost.

Vitiligo patients must maintain a good mood, which is more conducive to the recovery of the condition.

How can I spend less money on my journey to treat vitiligo?

Immunity is the key, boosting immunity, toning the liver, and supplementing with nutrients won't take much.

First, the treatment first from the exposed parts. Many patients belong to scattered vitiligo, that can first treat the face, hands, these exposed parts of the white spots, other parts hidden in the clothes can be controlled, then treatment.

Second, the treatment can consider 308 excimer laser technology. Usually, the skin reaction can be seen in a few treatments, and this is also more suitable for infants and children.

Third, the mood to relax, in order to make the treatment effect better. Vitiligo patients may want to be a "big heart" people, do not deliberately care about the disease.

Fourth, how to save time and money in treating vitiligo? If you want to save time, you have to make an appointment in advance; if you have limited financial resources, you can communicate with your doctor to solve your difficulties, rationalize the frequency and intensity of treatment, or apply for financial assistance from the hospital.

I've been in Zhengzhou Huaju Vitiligo Hospital for six years, spending more than 100,000 yuan and not cured!

For example, clinically some teenagers, children vitiligo patients treatment is better, the skin self-repair ability is stronger, for the acceptance of the treatment is also better, the treatment cost is relatively lower. The actual Vitiligo is actually a very good thing for you to do, and it's also a very good thing for you to do.

  4. Affected by the duration of treatment

  Vitiligo in the early stages of the disease is mild, the treatment difficulty is relatively small, this time the treatment of vitiligo costs less, if the patient repeatedly delayed the condition, it is likely to cause the proliferation of white spots, increasing the cost of treatment in the later stages.
