Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Melanin-rich foods mainly include black sesame seeds, black beans, black rice, black fungus, purple cabbage, mulberries, black grapes, and blackcurrants. These foods are rich in melanin and various nutrients, which help promote melanin production and skin metabolism.
For patients with vitiligo, appropriately incorporating these melanin-rich foods into their diet can be beneficial. They should maintain a balanced and diverse diet, increasing consumption of the aforementioned foods in moderation to supplement essential trace elements and nutrients. At the same time, patients should also avoid consuming irritating foods such as spicy, greasy, raw, or cold foods, maintain a positive emotional state, and undergo standardized treatment under a doctor's guidance.
However, please note that dietary adjustments cannot replace professional medical treatment. Patients still need to seek timely medical care and follow their doctor's recommendations.
