Vitiligo Treatment

According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), vitiligo is a prevalent condition that affects between 0.5 and 1% of the global population. Many cases, however, may go unreported, and some researchers believe the skin condition may afflict up to 1.5 percent of the population. 

Vitiligo is a condition that causes the skin to become colorless. This skin condition can affect people of any race. Although darker skinned people will notice it the most because of the stark contrast between their natural skin tone and the white spots caused by vitiligo.

In most cases, the affected skin starts to pale and quickly turns completely into white. These discolored areas usually grow with time, leaving behind white patches on the  skin. Although the specific cause of vitiligo is unknown, it is treatable with the consistent homeopathy treatment for vitiligo. 

Causes of Vitiligo

Vitiligo is caused by a deficiency of a pigment in the skin called melanin. Melanin, which gives your skin its color, is produced by cells called melanocytes. There aren't enough functioning melanocytes in your skin to produce adequate melanin in vitiligo. This results in white patches on your skin or hair. 

It is uncertain what causes vitiligo, but experts believe the following factors combine to develope it.

Where Does Vitiligo Show Up on the Body

Vitiligo can appear anywhere on their body. Usually vitiligo first appears in patches in areas like: 

  • Face
  • Arms
  • Hands
  • Feet
  • Back 

As the spots and patches expand, vitiligo may spread to other parts of a person's body. There can also be a color loss that occurs in certain people's mucous membranes, which include the genitalia, inside the mouth, and even the nose. Vitiligo also results in white or prematurely grey hair on the scalp. Some individuals experience color loss and get glowing spots on the colored area of their eyes as well.  

In rare cases, vitiligo can even affect the whole body. This is referred to as universal or total vitiligo.

Vitiligo is believed to be associated with different autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as

  • Diabetes Mellitus
  • Addison's Disease
  • Alopecia Areata
  • Hypothyroidism
  • Hyperthyroidism
  • Psoriasis
  • Pernicious Anemia
     

Types of Vitiligo

There are two major types of vitiligo nonsegmental vitiligo and segmental vitiligo

  1. Non-Segmental Vitiligo: Spreads slower than segmental vitiligo and it affects the mouth, knees, feet, arms, hands & back.
  1. Segmental Vitiligo: Spreads faster but is more stable than non-segmental vitiligo. It usually affects areas of the skin close to nerves.

Doctors use the following subtypes to classify the level of pigment loss in the body:

  • Localized: Vitiligo only appears in one or a few places on the body.
  • Generalized: Color-loss patches can be found across the body.
  • Universal: The skin's original color has mostly faded. It is a quite rare subtype
     

Symptoms of Vitiligo

The most noticeable sign of vitiligo is the emergence of white spots on the skin. These are usually substantially lighter than the patient's ordinary skin, and they are especially evident in those with a darker complexion. 

Vitiligo symptoms include the following and can develop at any stage of life: 

  • Patchy loss of skin color
  • Premature whitening or greying of hair on your scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, or beard.
  • Loss of color in the tissues that line the inside of your mouth and nose.
  • Loss of or change in color of the inner layer of the eyeball is also one of the symptoms of vitiligo 

Thyroid dysfunction is one of the most commonly observed disorders in vitiligo patients, and having a thyroid condition may be a warning sign that vitiligo may develop.

Emotional and Social Impact of Vitiligo

According to an NCBI study on the relationship between vitiligo and self-esteem, the majority of patients with vitiligo have low confidence and self-esteem. According to the study, 70% of women and 54% of men who took part had self-esteem concerns as a result of their vitiligo. Those with darker skin have been proven to struggle more with vitiligo, as pigment loss (depigmentation) is more noticeable on darker skin. 

Although vitiligo is not painful, it can develop quickly and significantly affect your appearance over time. If someone is unhappy with the changes on their skin, they may have inadequate psychological symptoms such as self-consciousness, concern, depression, or poor body image. If you believe your vitiligo is interfering with your mental or emotional stability, get professional assistance. 

Homeopathy places a significant emphasis on mental health in the treatment of both physical and mental disorders. The homoeopathic concept of health is strongly intertwined to the homoeopathic understanding of the mind in general. 

The most vexing vitiligo patch are those that cover the face, and the worsening of resistant patches on the exposed skin of the hands and feet can produce fury and disappointment. Anger and despair are common mood disorders, particularly among teenagers.

Melanocyte failure can be ascribed to a disease in which the immune system assaults and destroys them. Sunburn, stress, or exposure to industrial toxins might also set vitiligo off. Vitiligo patients are at risk of social or psychological anguish, hearing loss, sunburn, skin cancer, iris inflammation, and dry skin.
