Vitiligo

Achieve an even complexion with our specialized vitiligo treatments.

Overview

Vitiligo is a skin condition or a disorder where the skin loses its pigment and turns white. This condition occurs when the melanocyte cells are destroyed and they stop melanin production. Vitiligo can occur anywhere on the body in the form of single or multiple patches and can be progressive. Though it is not a contagious disease, it carries a lot of social stigma because of its disfiguring nature and people are often isolated and separated because of their diagnosis. This is the reason why vitiligo requires prompt and high quality treatment.

All You Need To Know About Vitiligo

Autoimmunity

Autoimmunity

Certain triggers are known to cause our own immune cells to come and destroy our own cells. This is known as autoimmunity. When your autoimmunity attacks the melanocyte cells, they lose their pigmentation production ability for cells causing white patches making vitiligo an autoimmune disorder. It is one of the most common reasons behind most vitiligo cases.

Genetic Factors

Genetic Factors

This is another undeniable causes of Vitiligo. Genetic predisposition acts as an trigger for autoimmunity. Approximately 30% of people have a family history of Vitiligo, which confirms that genes are contributing factors for this disease.

Psychological And Physical Stress

Psychological And Physical Stress

Any cuts, sunburn, exposure to harsh chemicals, or hormonal imbalance can also be a contributing factor to Vitiligo. Other than that, any severe stress like death in the family, or long term mental pressure can trigger this disorder. These environmental and psychological factors can influence direct damage to melanocytes, leading to the loss of pigmentation.

White Patches

White Patches

White patches are the most distinctive symptom of Vitiligo spots. These patches can occur anywhere on your body, including your arms, back, leg, face, or scalp. Starting from a small spot, Vitiligo may gradually spread over time.

Early Whitening Hair

Early Whitening Hair

if your hair is turning grey all of a sudden, then this might be a symptom of Vitiligo. The melanocyte cells in hair follicles get affected by this disease and turn your hair, eyebrows, or even beard. Thus, it is a noticeable vitiligo symptom if the condition affects hair on the head or facial hair.
Loss Of Color In The Mucous Membrane

Loss Of Color In The Mucous Membrane

In addition to the external signs, Vitiligo also affects the tissues inside your mouth and nose. Additionally, in very rare cases, it can affect the iris and potentially cause changes in its color. These sudden changes do not harm vision, but you can identify this symptom through an eye examination.

Oral And Topical Medicines

Oral And Topical Medicines

Vitiligo is a disorder that requires proper treatment from a qualified dermatologist. Dermatologists are trained specialists in all skin related conditions and thus qualified for diagnosing and treating vitiligo. The mainstay of vitiligo treatment remain oral and topical immunomodulators which stop the spread of the disease and promote repigmentation. These are prescription medicines and require guidance of a qualified doctor.
Light Therapy

Light Therapy

Light therapy using UVA (PUVA) and UVB (NBUVB) light rays form the backbone of Vitiligo treatment. Your doctor will advise you on the type of light according to your vitiligo patches. Light therapy helps in stopping the spread of vitiligo and also helps in repigmentation of the white patches.
Surgical Treatment

Surgical Treatment

Stable patches of vitiligo (patches that have not increased or decreased over 1 year) can be removed surgically. Multiple surgical options are available from punch grafting, suction blister to melanocyte transfer surgeries and are advised according to the number of patches and skills of the surgeon. Surgical treatment aims are repigmentation of the patches.
Cosmetic Camouflage

Cosmetic Camouflage

Your dermatologist may even offer you an option of camouflaging the vitiligo patch using medical grade concealers or micropigmentation (tattooing) treatment which can temporarily color small easily visible patches for immediate results.

Excimer Laser

Excimer Laser

Vitiligo laser treatment includes use of the excimer laser for vitiligo patches. It is an effective treatment for localized patches. The laser uses concentrated UVB light for the desired result of stopping the spread and repigmentation. Excimer laser acts faster than routine light therapy and is a best option for localized patches.

Fast Spreading

Fast Spreading

In case you are noticing a rapid growth of new white patches and existing ones spreading rapidly, visit your doctor. This is an indication of other underlying issues; thus, early Vitiligo treatment can help you manage the symptoms more effectively.

Physiological Stress

Physiological Stress

When your physical appearance affects your mental health or self-esteem, consult the best doctor for vitiligo treatment in Pune. They will give you proper treatment and counseling therapy in case you are having any depression or anxiety due to Vitiligo.
