Vitiligo Treatment

Signs / Symptoms

There are many symptoms of this disease from which it can be recognized. The primary and earliest sign of this is that the person's skin colour starts fading, and the hair also starts turning white in the same place. At the same time, if any part of the body turns white and you get hurt, which also turns white, this is a symptom you can understand. This vitiligo is spreading rapidly in your body. Apart from this, its symptoms include sensitivity to sunlight, and small white spots near the navel, groin, genitals, and rectal area.

The general sign/symptom of vitiligo is the formation of smooth white patches on different body parts. Several types of vitiligo can distinguish the variance of risk factors involved and the signs of vitiligo in two ways:

1. Number of patches: Concerning the intensity of the spread, the number of white patches may range from one to multiple on different body parts.
2. Shape of patches: The round or irregular shape of patches is generally observed. However, it can differentiate the location of the same in the following ways:
   • Unilateral or appearing on one side of the body
   • Multilateral
   • Segmental or in regular round shape
   • Bilateral segmental or appearing on both sides of the body in the exact location

Types of Vitiligo

• Generalised - This is the most common type and the patch is formed on different parts of the body.
• Segmental - In this type, the smooth white patches appear on only one side of the body.
• Mucosal - The mucosal membrane is affected with this type of vitiligo.
• Focal - A rare type, the patches are formed on only one area and do not spread for one or two years.
• Trichome - This is a rare condition where the skin texture ranges from light pigmentation to colourless white spots.
• Universal - Herein, more than 80% of the skin is infected with vitiligo

How common is Vitiligo?

Vitiligo is rarely found as only 0.5–2% approx. of the total population worldwide, i.e. around 2 to 5 million are suffering from it. The disease is characterized by the selective loss of melanocytes, resulting in distinctive non-scaly, chalky-white macules.

Vitiligo starts showing its effects from the early age of 10 and, in most cases, fully develops until age 40. Still, no specific evidence proves this disease occurs due to a genetic disorder, but according to doctors, nearly 30% of the affected patients have a family member with vitiligo. In general, there are two types of vitiligo. Non-segmental vitiligo is the most common type, affecting 9 out of 10 people. Segmental vitiligo is less common than non-segmental vitiligo. So, naturally, it is more common in children. It usually starts earlier and affects 3 out of 10 babies with white spots.

How Does Vitiligo Progress?

Vitiligo usually begins with some small white spots that can gradually spread throughout the body for several months. Vitiligo usually starts on the hands, arms, legs, and face but can develop on any part of the body, including mucous membranes (the moist lining of the mouth, nose, genital and rectal areas), eyes, and inner ear. In severe types, patches spread to a larger size, and their growth increases with time. However, in most cases, the same patch developed at an early age remains stuck for a lifetime. Luckily, it is not a transmissible disease; hence, you cannot catch it from someone else.

In some cases, the large spots spread, but they usually stay in one place for years. The location of small macules changes over time, as some areas of the skin lose and regain their pigment. As a result, vitiligo varies in the amount of skin affected, with some patients experiencing discoloured areas and widespread loss of skin colour in others.

I have been suffering from Vitiligo for more than a year. I tried Allopathic treatment for almost one year but couldn't see much difference. The Allopathic doctor gave me medicines and an ointment, but there wasn't any visible improvement. I had white patches on my right forearm, which affected my social life.

As a result, I stopped attending college and wouldn't go out to any social events. Now that I have received vitiligo disease treatment from Bharat Homeopathy for the last seven months, my white patches have disappeared, and I am back to my regular routine. It was made possible by the team of doctors at Bharat Homeopathy for the best treatment for vitiligo.

They gave me the proper medication and the right diet plan, which I followed rigorously, resulting in a speedy recovery.
