Many patients feel panicked when faced with their condition and eventually find suitable treatment methods, but there are still adverse reactions after treatment, which can destroy them.You should know that vitiligo is a skin disease that is easy to spread, and any external damage can easily lead to the spread of white patches.How to deal with the adverse reactions during phototherapy and prevent the spread of vitiligo? Don't worry, let's see what the phototherapy therapist has to say.

Bubbles appear

This is a phenomenon that many patients are prone to after treatment.In fact, there is no need to be nervous in the face of this situation. During phototherapy treatment, there is only a slight burning sensation in the illuminated area.For vitiligo patients, there are almost no side effects. Occasionally overexposure can cause slight redness and swelling, but it is not a major harm to the body.If severe blisters appear, patients need to seek medical treatment. Some patients break the blisters without permission, and the consequences are very serious.

Peeling off skin

This reaction is also a common clinical phenomenon. This is because the patient's skin is too dry during phototherapy, which is a normal phenomenon and the patient does not need to worry.After treatment, patients can use some skincare creams or drink more water to replenish their hydration. If there are any other discomforts, communicate with the doctor in a timely manner.

Redness at the affected area

Patients in this situation need to be carefully identified, as redness in the affected area can have different effects on the patient due to various reasons.The redness of vitiligo does not represent the further development of the white patches, but rather indicates the improvement of the patient's condition.The optimal irradiation time is when mild erythema appears. Normal irradiation usually does not cause redness and swelling, but without proper treatment and care, patients may develop white patches and redness.At this point, it is necessary to stop the irradiation and adjust the timing promptly after the erythema has fully recovered.

Reminder: Patients should not rush to self treat any adverse skin reactions that may occur after phototherapy. You can consult a phototherapy therapist and take scientific measures.At the same time, patients should learn to choose scientific treatment methods during the treatment of vitiligo to avoid unnecessary harm to themselves.
