Vitiligo is associated with risks of ocular abnormalities and some autoimmune disorders. In Indian and some other cultures, this innocuous disease has been associated with social stigma since ancient times. Confusion with leprosy is partly responsible for this. What causes vitiligo ? Epidemiological studies suggest that vitiligo or a susceptibility to the disease may be inherited and about one fourth to one third of patients have family members affected with the disease. A multifactorial pattern of inheritance is revealed in most studies. Three possible mechanisms that may cause destruction of melanocytes, the pigment ­producing cells of the skin, has been suggested by different workers. The autoimmune hypothesis originated from the observation that vitiligo is associated with some autoimmune diseases. Both cellular and humoral factors responsible for autoimmune damage to melanocytes have been demonstrated.

Le vitiligo Pourquoi ? On ne connaît pas précisément la cause du vitiligo. Il résulte de la destruction des mélanocytes (cellules de la peau, lui donnant sa couleur « marron »), sous divers facteurs, dont l’hérédité, l’auto-immunité et le phénomène de Koebner L’hérédité : on observe dans environ 1/3 des cas un antécédent de vitiligo dans la famille L’auto-immunité est une réaction de l’immunité d’un sujet contre lui-même. Le médecin décidera donc dans certains cas de vérifier s’il n’existe pas un contexte « auto-immun » chez son patient. Le phénomène de Koebner est l’aggravation d’une maladie de peau lors des traumatismes. On observe en effet une répartition préférentielle du vitiligo sur les zones subissant fréquemment des micro-traumatismes (frottement, appui ) : les mains, les coudes, une partie du visage fréquemment manipulée par le patient Comment ?

Vitiligo (Leucoderma) by Dr.Rajesh Shah Read in Italy >> Click here for our website exclusively devoted to Vitiligo >> What is vitiligo? Vitiligo is more commonly known as leucoderma, which simply means white (leuco) skin (derma), i.e. a skin disorder where it looses its normal coloration. It is also medically known as achromia, which means loss of colour. Basically, vitiligo can hardly be called as a disease but a skin- disorder which has more social than medical significance, especially amongst the dark skin people. Due to retarded melanin formation, there is loss of pigmentation. Leucoderma : Before treatment: 26.10.97 Leucoderma : 02.04.98 During the treatment (Improvement started) Leucoderma :24.06.98: After the treatment Leucoderma : Before treatment Leucoderma : During the treatment Leucoderma : After the treatment : [Return to Top] Causes: The exact cause remains unknown. However, there are theories suggesting autoimmune link, hormonal connection, etc. Often observed in the family members.

Features: Varying from a single white spot to multiples spots. In some cases generalised de-pigmentation observed all over the body.

There are numerous books that have been written that talk of various natural remedies. Some of my opinions are not shared by many in the medical profession, especially traditional medicine, though many of the theories that I have embraced come from various alternative doctor's experience with vitiligo. Over the past decade, I have taken several of these theories and incorporated them, for my own experience with vit has led me to certain conclusions about my vitiligo and how to treat it.

The clinical hallmark of Vitiligo is patches of absent pigmentation giving rise to areas of very white skin, the hair may also be affected. The patches often present in a strikingly symmetrical pattern on both sides of the body, they may spread over time and are highly vulnerable to sunburn. Treatment of Vitiligo is often difficult and, except for a very small depigmented patches, is usually lengthy. In addition, none appears to alter the course of the underlying disease and, although pigmentation may be satisfactory at the end of treatment, a risk of relapse persists indefinitely.

Problem? Solution!: VITILIGO Throughout the years, many living with Vitiligo have relied on Covermark to conceal white patches of varying sizes and shapes. What is Vitiligo? Vitiligo is generally diagnosed in childhood or before the age of 25. Its origins are genetic and it is often accompanied by other disease. When melanocytpes in the skin fail to produce melanin, which gives skin pigment, white patches begin to appear. Symptoms may include: White patches of varying sizes Sensitivity to the sun Other Vitiligo can go into remission for an extended period of time. However, there is no assurance it will not return and spread. Sun exposure without protection may trigger the spread of patches or enlarge the size and alter the shape of existing ones. Concealment remains an option for consumers with Vitiligo. While some cases can be treated with steroids or reduced with exposure to ultra violet light, there is no known cure for it.
