Differential diagnosis of chloasma
Chloasma needs to be differentiated from freckles, post-inflammatory pigmentation, zygomatic brownish-blue nevus, melanosis and lichen planus pigmentosum.
Dietotherapy prevention and treatment of chloasma
Chloasma is closely related to diet. Experts believe that the long-term lack of glutathione in the diet can make tyrosine in the skin produce dopaquinone, which is then oxidized into dopaminergic, which produces melanin, thus causing pigmentation. Therefore, a reasonable diet has a certain effect on preventing chloasma.
The treatment of chloasma should be combined with internal and external factors, first of all, the cause should be removed and the sun should be strictly protected. The most effective formula for external use is Kligman: 5% hydroquinone, 0. 1% tretinoin and 0. 1% dexamethasone. Commonly used for silk white spot cream, hydroquinone cream. Some whitening and freckle-removing cosmetics on the market contain arbutin, vitamin C/E and its derivatives, some plant flavonoids and polyphenols extracts, nicotinamide and other whitening ingredients, which also have certain effects for external use and can be used together. Whether it is whitening cosmetics or drugs, it takes at least two months to see the effect, and it needs to be adhered to. In addition, fruit acid changes skin. And vitamin c iontophoresis have good therapeutic effects. There are also some traditional Chinese medicines, such as Jiawei Xiaoyao Powder and Taohong Siwu Decoction, which may be helpful. These medicines need to be taken for a long time and cannot be effective in a short time. In short, the treatment of chloasma is difficult, which requires patience and slow conditioning.
Dietary considerations for patients with chloasma
Patients with chloasma should often eat foods rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, tomatoes, green peppers, hawthorn, fresh dates, kiwi fruit and fresh green leafy vegetables. Because vitamin C is an oxidant, it can inhibit the oxidation of dopaquinone in the skin, transform the dark oxidized pigment in the skin into reduced light pigment, and inhibit the production of melanin. Therefore, eating foods rich in vitamin C frequently can help hypopigmentation and prevent chloasma. Lemon contains citric acid, pectin and rich vitamin C, vitamin D, etc. It can make skin moist and smooth when made into bath agent. Citric acid can also prevent skin pigmentation and help prevent the disease. People with chloasma should not eat too much irritating food, such as wine, strong tea, coffee, etc., so as not to aggravate the condition.
