Objective
Vitiligo is a skin condition in which the skin loses its colour in the form of patches. It can affect your hair, skin, and inner membrane (lining) of the mouth. Melanin is a pigment-producing cell that is responsible for the determination of your skin and hair colour. When these pigments either stop functioning or die, it contributes to the formation of Vitiligo. It affects people of all ages, skin types, and gender.
With successful measures, you can decisively treat it and prevent it from further making it worse. The option you and your surgeon choose varies depending on the severity of your situation.
Various types of Vitiligo are:
- Generalized Vitiligo appears on the majority of parts of the body.
- Universal Vitiligo affects more than 80% of the skin surfaces.
- Focal or localized Vitiligo appears on a few small areas of the body and does not spread.
- Segmental Vitiligo appears on one side or a part of the body.
- Acrofacial Vitiligo emerges on the nose, eyes, face, hands, and ears.
Procedure
Common treatments include:
- Light Therapy- The use of ultraviolet B(UVB) has proven to slow down the progress of active Vitiligo. It delivers many effective results when combined with corticosteroids. Corticosteroids are steroid hormones that reduce body inflammation.
- Camouflage Therapy- suggests using sunscreen with ultraviolet A and B (UVA-UVB), makeup, and hair dye to limit the contrast between the regular and affected skin.
- Depigmentation Therapy- uses a depigmenting agent on the skin that lightens gradually and merges with the discoloured area.
- Skin grafting- uses the transfer of healthy pigment skin to the white patches.
