White spots have grown on the body, which may be caused by the following reasons. White pityriasis will also have white spots on the skin after illness. This disease is most likely to appear on children's faces, but there will be tiny desquamation on the white spots of white pityriasis, and it will disappear by itself with age. Don't worry too much about this disease.
Tinea versicolor is also a disease manifested in the form of leukoplakia. The most common part of this disease is the neck and chest, and it also appears in the shoulder and back. The color of Tinea versicolor is brown, light brown, light yellow or white, which is similar to leukoplakia.
In the phenomenon of skin leukoplakia, anemic nevus is the most similar to leukoplakia, but the difference is that anemic nevus starts from childhood, and the site of the disease is not fixed, and it will appear in all parts of the body, but anemic nevus will not expand and deepen, but will increase proportionally with the development of human body. Anemic nevus does not redden when rubbing, but the skin around it is red. This is the biggest difference between anemic nevus and leukoplakia.
Idiopathic punctate leukoplakia is also very similar to the initial symptoms of leukoplakia, but the majority of people with idiopathic punctate leukoplakia are the elderly, and after the onset, it will not expand, but will gradually increase with the illness.
Having leukoplakia on the body does not necessarily mean suffering from leukoplakia. Sometimes it is also related to diseases such as idiopathic punctate leukoplakia, nevus and pityriasis albiflora. After getting sick, patients should identify the disease of leukoplakia. If it cannot be diagnosed more accurately, it can be diagnosed by the Wood lamp in the hospital. This is the gold standard for diagnosing leukoplakia and can scientifically find out whether it is leukoplakia.
