Vitiligo


With vitiligo, certain areas of the skin lose their pigment, leaving behind white patches. Although less frequently, it has also been observed to affect the pigment in the hair and eyes.

Melanin, the pigment that gives skin, hair, and eyes color, is produced by melanocytes, which die and stop doing so when vitiligo develops. The affected patches of skin lighten or turn white, but doctors are unsure of what causes the cells to malfunction or perish. Genetics, an autoimmune disease, or a precipitating circumstance like a sunburn or emotional distress may all play a role.

How is it treated?

At Derma , Vitiligo can be treated with a variety of methods, such as medications, skin grafting, light therapy, laser therapy, and creams that reduce inflammation. Skin color can be restored with the aid of treatments.
