Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Consuming black sesame seeds may benefit individuals with vitiligo. Black sesame seeds are rich in various nutrients, including protein, fats, vitamin E, iron, calcium, and others. These components not only provide essential nutritional support to the body and enhance immunity but also aid in the synthesis of melanin, thereby helping to improve symptoms in patients with vitiligo. Additionally, the vitamin E in black sesame seeds has antioxidant properties that help protect skin health and prevent damage from ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, vitiligo patients can appropriately include black sesame seeds in their diet as a complementary treatment approach. However, dietary adjustments alone cannot fully replace medical treatment, and patients should still follow their doctor's advice for comprehensive management.
