Suitable Lifestyle for People with Albinism

Suitable lifestyle options for people with Albinism include the following:

1. Avoid direct sunlight: People with Albinism are allergic to sunlight, so they should avoid direct sunlight during outdoor activities to avoid causing skin discomfort.

2. Pay attention to diet: Patients need to consume enough vitamin A and carotene to supplement the nutrients needed by the body. At the same time, avoid eating irritating foods such as high fat, high sugar, and high salt.

3. Keep the skin clean: Clean the skin regularly to avoid accumulation of oil, dirt, etc. on the surface of the skin, causing discomfort.

4. Avoid infection: Because the skin resistance of patients with Albinism is weak and they are prone to skin inflammation, they need to pay attention to personal hygiene to avoid infection.

5. Maintain a good attitude: Albinism is a congenital disease. Patients need to accept their reality, maintain a good attitude, and actively face the challenges in life.

6. Follow the doctor's advice: Under the guidance of a doctor, patients can better understand their disease and follow the doctor's instructions for treatment and care.
