Vitiligo is a common acquired localized or generalized skin depigmentation disease characterized by white spots on the skin. The occurrence of this disease is related to many factors, including heredity, immunity, environment and so on. The treatment cycle of vitiligo is long and easy to recur, which has plagued many patients for a long time. In recent years, with the deepening of medical research, the concept of “treating summer diseases in winter” has gradually been favored by patients with vitiligo, and has become a scientific and standardized treatment method.
Vitiligo is caused by the decrease or disappearance of melanocytes in the skin. Summer sunlight is strong and ultraviolet radiation is enhanced, which will stimulate the activity of melanocytes and make white spots more obvious. In winter, the sun is weak, ultraviolet radiation is weakened, the activity of melanocytes is relatively low, and the color of white spots will be relatively light. Therefore, summer is the season of aggravation of vitiligo, while winter is the season of relative stability. Based on this seasonal characteristic, the concept of “treating summer diseases in winter” came into being.
From the point of view of treatment, “treating summer diseases in winter” is conducive to improving the therapeutic effect. In summer, due to the aggravation of the disease, patients often need to increase the dosage of drugs or take other treatment methods to control the disease. In winter, because the condition is relatively stable, patients can be treated with smaller doses of drugs, which can not only reduce the side effects of drugs, but also help patients recover. In addition, winter treatment of vitiligo can also reduce the risk of recurrence of the disease.
In addition to the improvement of therapeutic effect, “treating summer diseases in winter” is also conducive to the mental health of patients. Patients with vitiligo often suffer from anxiety, depression and other psychological problems in summer because of the aggravation of the disease. In winter, because the condition is relatively stable, the psychological burden of patients will be relatively reduced, which is conducive to the mental health of patients. The improvement of this psychological state, in turn, will promote the improvement of the therapeutic effect and form a virtuous circle.
The theoretical basis of
“treating summer diseases in winter” originates from the view of “nourishing Yang in spring and summer, nourishing Yin in autumn and winter” in Huangdi Neijing, an ancient book of traditional Chinese medicine. This view reveals the internal relationship between vitiligo and the season, and believes that only by adapting to the changes of the four seasons can we better remove leukoplakia. Winter is the season when Yin Qi is the strongest. At this time, scientific treatment can consolidate the curative effect and balance Yin and Yang in the body, so as to achieve better therapeutic effect.
In practice, the concept of “treating summer diseases in winter” has been widely promoted and applied. Many patients with vitiligo in winter adhere to treatment, not only the condition has been effectively controlled, but also reduce the risk of recurrence. At the same time, winter treatment can also be combined with health conditioning, such as anti-freezing and keeping warm, regulating viscera and blood, and strengthening exercise properly, so as to further enhance the therapeutic effect.
However, it should be noted that “treating summer diseases in winter” does not mean that we can relax our vigilance or interrupt treatment in winter. Vitiligo is not a simple skin disease, but a comprehensive disease closely related to the internal functions of human viscera, blood and immunity. Therefore, prevention and control should be actively carried out throughout the year, and efforts should not be relaxed. When treating in winter, patients should follow the doctor’s advice and make a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best therapeutic effect.

“Treating summer diseases in winter” is a scientific and standardized method in the treatment of vitiligo. It uses the seasonal characteristics of vitiligo, combined with the principle of health preservation and disease prevention of traditional Chinese medicine, through scientific treatment and psychological adjustment, to achieve the purpose of improving the therapeutic effect, reducing the risk of recurrence and improving the psychological state. In the future, with the deepening of medical research and the continuous progress of technology, the concept of “treating summer diseases in winter” will bring good news to more patients with vitiligo.
