There are many reasons for white spots on the body, which can be divided into congenital factors and acquired factors.
Congenital: refers to white spots caused by various reasons during embryonic development.
Acquired: Most of the symptoms of vitiligo are induced by the influence of the external environment, such as: exposure to the sun, mental factors, immune dysfunction, etc.
There are many diseases that induce white spot symptoms, and we need to treat them with caution.
