Vitiligo (vit-ill-EYE-go) or Leucoderma is a pigmentation disorder in which melanocytes (the cells that make pigment) in the skin are destroyed. As a result, white patches appear on the skin in different parts of the body. Similar patches also appear on both the mucous membranes (tissues that line the inside of the mouth and nose), and the retina (inner layer of the eyeball). The hair that grows on areas affected by vitiligo sometimes turns white

Largely, there are two process at work towards producing Vitiligo

• Destruction of melanin (color pigment)
• Lack of formation of melanin

Causes

The cause of vitiligo is not known, but doctors and researchers have several different theories. There is strong evidence that people with vitiligo inherit a group of three genes that make them susceptible to depigmentation. The most widely accepted view is that the depigmentation occurs because vitiligo is an autoimmune disease -- a disease in which a person's immune system reacts against the body's own organs or tissues.

Vitiligo is associated with three systemic diseases

• Pernicious anemia
• Hyperthyroidism
• Addison's disease

The condition affects about 1% of the United States population and world population, about 8% of Indian and Mexican population suffer with this disorder.

Vitiligo can hardly be called as a disease but a skin-disorder that has more social than medical significance, especially amongst the dark skinned people

What are the symptoms vitiligo ?

People who develop vitiligo usually first notice white patches (depigmentation) on their skin. These patches are more commonly found on sun-exposed areas of the body, including the hands, feet, arms, face, and lips. Other common areas for white patches to appear are the armpits and groin, and around the mouth, eyes, nostrils, navel, genitals, and rectum.

Vitiligo generally appears in one of three patterns

1. focal pattern -- the depigmentation is limited to one or only a few areas
2. segmental pattern -- depigmented patches develop on only one side of the body
3. generalized pattern -- the most common pattern. Depigmentation occurs symmetrically on both sides of the body

In addition to white patches on the skin, people with vitiligo may have premature graying of the scalp hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, and beard. People with dark skin may notice a loss of color inside their mouths.

Will the depigmented patches spread ?

Focal pattern vitiligo and segmental vitiligo remain localized to one part of the body and do not spread. There is no way to predict if generalized vitiligo will spread. For some people, the depigmented patches do not spread. The disorder is usually progressive, however, and over time the white patches will spread to other areas of the body. For some people, vitiligo spreads slowly, over many years. For other people, spreading occurs rapidly. Some people have reported additional depigmentation following periods of physical or emotional stress.

How can people cope with the emotional and psychological aspects of vitiligo ?

While vitiligo is usually not harmful medically, its emotional and psychological effects can be devastating. In fact, in India, women with the disease are sometimes discriminated against in marriage. Developing vitiligo after marriage can be grounds for divorce.

Regardless of a person's race and culture, white patches of vitiligo can affect emotional and psychological well-being and self-esteem. People with vitiligo can experience emotional stress, particularly if the condition develops on visible areas of the body, such as the face, hands, arms, and feet; or on the genitals. Adolescents, who are often particularly concerned about their appearance, can be devastated by widespread vitiligo. Some people who have vitiligo feel embarrassed, ashamed, depressed, or worried about how others will react.

Fortunately, there are several strategies to help people cope with vitiligo

What treatment options are available ?

The main goal of treating vitiligo is to improve appearance. Therapy for vitiligo takes a long time-it usually must be continued for 10 to 24 months. Therapy also depends on the number of white patches; their location, sizes, and how widespread they are; and what you prefer in terms of treatment. Each patient responds differently to therapy

AUROH Homeopathic Treatment

At AUROH we emphasizes that Vitiligo is not an external but an internal malady, arising out of faulty immune system with genetic predispositions. Needless to say the disease is deep seated and calls for well planned deeply acting medicines. Conventional treatment with steroid & local application can suppress (that is what they call ‘manage’) the symptoms of the disease but cannot cure the disease. On the other hand, it is homoeopathy that has potential to stimulate body’s natural healing capacity and to restore the disturbed immune system.

Homeopathy treatment

Homeopathic treatment for Vitiligo has been found to be extremely effective. Physicians at AUROH have worked with Vitiligo patients for over 15 yrs years. Our well researched medications have changed the treatment protocol totally. We have to our credit new medicines molecules which have international recognition.

• It works at root level and restores deviated immunity back to normalcy
• It works by addressing the genetic tendencies
• homeopathy uses natural medicinal substances in ultra-minute quantity rendering a treatment that is extremely effective yet absolutely free from any side-effects whatsoever

How much time does it take ?

Vitiligo is an obstinate and chronic disease. There is no shortcut to its cure.
The length of treatment varies form case to case, depending of the following factors

• Duration of Vitiligo

• General health and associated diseases

Most patients observe positive results in about 10 to 20 months.
