Vitiligo can be irradiated with ordinary light bulbs instead of ultraviolet light bulbs no

Not as effective as that ultraviolet light. Vitiligo is a common acquired pigment loss skin and mucous membrane disease, dark-skinned people have a higher incidence than light-skinned. Pathogenesis is not completely clear. It is currently believed that individuals with genetic qualities are stimulated by multiple internal and external factors, immune function, neuropsychiatric and endocrine, metabolism and other aspects of dysfunction, leading to the inhibition of the tyrosinase system or the destruction of melanocytes, ultimately leading to the loss of pigmentation at the site of the disease. At present, the treatment is relatively difficult, although there are many kinds of treatment methods and drugs, but most of the efficacy is not satisfactory. Currently, it is recommended to use a combination of therapies with a course of treatment of at least 3 months, which generally includes photochemotherapy, phototherapy, azathioprine ethanol, autologous epidermal transplantation, as well as the application of hormones and topical immunosuppressants.
