    Mr.
    Zhang is a painter who has been working in an abrasives factory for ten years.
    He has been dealing with paint every day.
    In addition to wearing a mask, he has almost no other protective measures.
    The paint will stick to his body more or less.
    "If I work, I will definitely get the paint on my body, and I will take a shower every day.
    " Just last year, Mr.
    Zhang began to have white spots on his legs.
    The friends around said it might be vitiligo, but he thought it was not white.
    The paint is cleaned.
    It was not until later that these white spots grew bigger and bigger and soon spread to all parts of Mr.
    Zhang's body, which made Mr.
    Zhang anxious.
    "Originally, I made some money and planned to do some business, but now I have white spots in this body.
    I am afraid that others will see me.
    I can only temporarily dispel this idea.
    " Mr.
    Zhang was very distressed about the white spots on his body, and was anxious He began to seek medical advice.
    According to the diagnosis by doctor Zeng Weiyi of Changsha Chinese Medicine Vitiligo Hospital, Mr.
    Zhang's condition is related to the environment in which he has been engaged in painting for a long time.
    It is caused by skin contact with chemically irritating substances.
    Since Mr.
    Zhang did not seek medical treatment in time after discovering his condition, the area of ​​leukoplakia exceeded 50% of the body surface area, and he had developed generalized vitiligo.
    Zeng Weiyi said that paint contains irritating substances such as benzene and formaldehyde, and long-term exposure will destroy the melanin active cells in the skin, causing skin pigmentation to fall off, increasing the possibility of inducing vitiligo.
    "Long-term exposure to chemical substances and irritating objects with unknown ingredients in work and life may cause damage to the skin.
    " The doctor reminded that exposure to paints, chemical raw materials and other harmful substances may cause vitiligo, so try to avoid it in your life.
    In contact with these harmful substances, protective measures must be taken as a last resort, such as wearing protective gloves.
    Vitiligo must be detected and treated early.
    Generally, white spots with a short course of disease and small area are easier to cure.
    Don't miss the best treatment time at the beginning of the disease.
