Vitiligo can be affected to anybody from infants to adults.

The reasons for vitiligo are

1. Genetics: It can occur due to genetic reasons.

2. Autoimmunity reasons: It happens when our body’s immune system is depleted. Then it can’t protect our body’s cells. And cells get destroyed.

3. Hormonal imbalance: Due to Thyroid problems, sugar, diabetes, hypertension, and other kinds of hormonal problems.

4. Nutritional deficiency: Due to nutritional deficiencies in the body also we can see this skin problem.

Types of Vitiligo:

1. Vitiligo Vulgaris(Generalized Vitiligo): It can be formed anywhere in the body.

2. Acral Vitiligo: It is formed on the hands and the legs.

3. Segmental Vitiligo: It is formed in particular segments, like the upper part of the face, and underarms are called Segmental Vitiligo

Diagnosis of Vitiligo:

Our Dermatologists examine the patient’s skin condition thoroughly to verify whether the patient’s skin condition is vitiligo or not in the first place.

There are other types of skin conditions like sobi, skin allergy, or due to sun allergy these white patches are formed.

Our Specialists perform certain tests like Woods lamp examination, Dermoscopy, and Skin biopsy and determine whether the skin condition is vitiligo. 

And find the associated factors of the skin condition. Associated factors are Autoimmune disorders like thyroid, diabetes, sugar, etc. By ruling out these disorders vitiligo is controlled to a great extent.

Treatment of Vitiligo:

Treatment of Vitiligo is dependent on two factors 

Stable Vitiligo:

Our Specialists check whether the vitiligo is stable or not. 

If the patch size is not increasing, and no new patches are forming. 

Then this type of vitiligo can be treated with simple medicines like topical creams and supplements.

Non-Stable Vitiligo:

If the patch size is increasing and new patches are forming on the skin, it cant be treated with just topical creams, with these topical creams oral immunosuppressants must be given to control the spread and enhance the immune system.

Reasons Why Vitiligo Grow higher:

1. Stress: Most Skin problems grow because of psychological stress, and anxiety.

Yoga should be done, By doing yoga mental balance and stability are enhanced, and there will be no stress or anxiety in the mind for a person who does yoga regularly.

2. Diet: We should take a balanced diet which contains all the nutrients, with raw fruits and vegetables included in the diet. Diet must be taken at the right time every day which helps the body to undergo the process of digestion, circulation, and excretion with ease. Diet is important only then the medicines work cohesively within the body.

3. Sleep: We should have good sleep quota every day.

Treatments and Procedures:

If we want to cure our Vitiligo faster there are treatments like Narrowband UVB therapy, excimer laser, vitiligo grafting, etc.

By this the skin is affected by Vitiligo, due to the skin exposed to these machines, cells are generated in the skin and the patches which are affected by vitiligo are turned into normal skin, and the pigment is reformed.

By using the medicines and following the following measures and undergoing with some advanced treatments Vitiligo can be controlled to a great extent and depending on the type whether it is stable or insatiable Vitiligo can be cured in many cases.

Vitiligo Non Culture Melanocyte Grafting

In patients with stable vitiligo, autologous melanocyte transfer is a simple and effective technique to produce homogeneous pigmentation quickly. It has an advantage over conventional split thickness grafting as it requires very less donor skin(Usually one-tenth of the recipient site)
