Searching for vitiligo in the search engine, pushing me is about all aspects of vitiligo content, I have seen a lot of vitiligo patients sick their own psychological can not pass. For example, "I have vitiligo, do I want to tell the object", "if the object has vitiligo, do I want to continue to be with him", "I don't dare to go out to meet people when I have vitiligo", "I don't want to find vitiligo work", etc., such problems arise endlessly, of course, I do not deny that I have a mentality and process of actively sharing how I face vitiligo, giving more patients a psychological refueling.
Because of vitiligo and strong inferiority and walking on the road passers-by to your fearful attitude bothered me, even for a long time I did not want to go out to meet people, until recently I did not want to open, now I share my "special medicine", hope to give other vitiligo patients some help.
Why do you say that "vitiligo is actually a mental illness"
First of all, the symptoms of vitiligo are only the whitening of the skin somewhere on the body, this is because of the lack of melanin, no physical discomfort, no pain or itch, close your eyes and touch it by feeling and can't tell that the skin is a white spot.
The cause of vitiligo is still unknown, but because it is different from normal skin, it is attributed to the disease, and no vitiligo patients have been found to be significantly different from ordinary people.
Vitiligo itself is not like other skin diseases. There are some symptoms of itching, redness and swelling, but the pain suffered by patients comes from psychological pain. For example, disgusting yourself for not looking good, being discriminated against by others, being afraid of the different eyes of others, concealing the guilt and panic of your own object, and so on. It's all invisible pain that encircles itself. So if you "cure" these psychological problems, vitiligo has no effect.
Second, some suggestions for vitiligo patients
1. Seriously think about whether "vitiligo is actually a mental illness" whether there is some truth, at least some truth.
2. Learn to psychologically counsel yourself. Being stabbed is the actual pain, and the invisible pain is just your own imagination. The surprised look in the eyes of passers-by when they see you on the road and the movement away from you are not enough to make you shackle yourself. When I used to work, my colleagues were shocked to see it, but after a while, my colleague explained to me that the reaction was not intentional, and he didn't know what vitiligo was before, just a knee-jerk reaction. So a lot of times your pain stems from your excessive imagination and fear.
3. It's not that vitiligo is a mental illness, it's just that from that perspective. The recommendation is still to treat it scientifically. Now the development of medicine, drugs plus phototherapy, and even melanocyte transplantation, etc., are the blessing stars of vitiligo, and the white spots can be eliminated. Don't be psychologically stressed to see a doctor, and be proactive in treatment. Don't feel that after watching for a long time, you don't have the confidence to lose confidence, and you must have a natural mentality.
4. Vitiligo is not an excuse to stand in the way of your normal life. Like NBA player Kuzma's supermodel girlfriend Winnie Harlow, life is still wonderful. She suffered from vitiligo at the age of four, but this did not affect her, still insisted on her modeling career, and eventually made her own name.
Third, some small common sense of vitiligo
1. The only disease of this disease is the skin whitening, most of the cases are not painful or itchy, there is no feeling, not contagious, but there is a certain genetic risk.
2. Vitiligo is not sheep epilepsy, although the pronunciation is similar, but it is not a nature at all, sheep epilepsy is what is called epilepsy.
3. Vitiligo is not albinism, the cause of albinism is clear, it is a genetic defect and life-threatening.
