What is Vitiligo?

Vitiligo is a chronic skin disorder characterized by the loss of skin color, resulting in the formation of white patches on the skin. This condition occurs when melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing pigment in the skin, are destroyed or stop functioning properly.

Symptoms of Vitiligo:

The primary symptom of vitiligo is the development of depigmented patches on the skin. These patches may appear on any part of the body, including the face, hands, arms, feet, and other areas exposed to the sun. While vitiligo itself is not harmful or contagious, it can have significant psychological and emotional effects on individuals affected by the condition.

Treatment Options for Vitiligo:

While there is currently no cure for vitiligo, various treatment options are available to help manage the condition and promote repigmentation of the skin. These may include:

• Melanocyte Transfer: It is the latest technique to repigment the patchy depigmented skin by transferring melanocytes from the normally pigmented areas of the body.
• Topical Corticosteroids: Corticosteroid creams or ointments may help reduce inflammation and encourage repigmentation in affected areas.
• Phototherapy: Phototherapy, including narrowband UVB therapy, involves exposing the skin to ultraviolet light to stimulate pigment production.
• Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors: Medications such as tacrolimus or pimecrolimus may be used to suppress the immune response and promote repigmentation.
• Depigmentation: In cases where vitiligo affects a large portion of the skin, depigmentation therapy may be an option to even out skin tone by lightening unaffected areas.
