Leucoderma is a type of chronic skin disease that causes pigment and, therefore, white to pinkish patches on the outer skin surface. This condition is also called vitiligo. Melanin is a natural pigment that is found in our body. In cases where the melanin-producing cells are destroyed or do not function properly, leucoderma, that is vitiligo, manifests. This condition can affect almost any part of the body, like the arms, hands, legs, face, scalp of the head, etc.
This condition is not life-threatening. However, it can be a reason for embarrassment, emotional distress, social isolation, and alienation. This is more likely to happen to a patient if he/she has visible spots on a body part that is usually exposed to others.
While the steroid-focused conventional treatment may work for the short term, it rarely offers any permanent solution. On the other hand, comprehensive symptom relief, sustained results, and long-term benefits can be achieved using personalized homeopathic treatment for vitiligo.
Common Symptoms of Leucoderma (Vitiligo)
The most easily recognizable and prominent symptom of this condition is the white/pink skin patches due to melanin loss. Other associated symptoms of vitiligo are:
- Symmetrical white spots all over the body or localized in a specific area of the body
- Discoloration at the sides and even inside of the mouth and/or nose
- Premature graying of hair on the scalp, eyebrows, or beard
- Loss of color in the retina of the eye
- The depigmented areas may eventually start to become larger
- Occasionally, in some cases, patients may experience unexplained itching in the affected area before the patches appear
Understanding these symptoms can help you promptly seek treatment, and your doctor offers better results with your Homeopathic Treatment for Vitiligo.
Causes of Vitiligo
The exact cause of vitiligo is not known to date. However, experts believe it to be caused by one or more of the following reasons or factors:
- Autoimmunity: A condition where your own immune system turns against you and starts attacking the melanin-producing cells
- Genetic predisposition: Having a family history of vitiligo or other autoimmune conditions can expose you to the risk of leucoderma, that is, vitiligo
- Neurogenic Causes: Neurotransmitters are chemicals that work as messengers between the nerve fibers to carry impulses from and to the brain. Often, some of these neurotransmitters can affect these melanocytes in risk-exposed people. This leads to a stopped or decreased production of melanin and, ultimately, vitiligo/leucoderma.
- Stress or trauma: Prolonged physical or emotional stress can trigger the onset of this condition. However, proof of the direct relation between stress and vitiligo is less.
- Oxidative stress: Whenever there is an overload of cell-scavenging free radicals in the body, while there is a very low and inadequate concentration of antioxidants, it causes oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is also among the contributors to leucoderma development.
- Injury to Skin: Often skin injuries like cuts, burns, or sunburns can trigger the manifestation of depigmentation and therefore vitiligo. This is called the Koebner phenomenon.
- Hormonal imbalances: Endocrine disorders like thyroid dysfunction can also lead to the occurrence of leucoderma.
- Nutritional deficiencies: While underestimated, poor diet and nutrition can lead to deficiencies of Vitamin B12, folic acid, and copper, which can manifest into leucoderma
- Exposure to certain chemicals: Harsh chemical compounds, irritants, and industrial or environmental pollutants can also potentially lead to the onset of leucoderma.
A qualified homeopathic doctor assesses your condition and identifies contributing factors for personalized care. They then recommend the most appropriate vitiligo treatment in homeopathy based on your individual needs.
Diagnostic Tests for Vitiligo
Here are some of the most commonly employed diagnostic tests to confirm the presence of vitiligo in a patient.
- Visual inspection under natural and UV (Wood’s lamp) light
- Blood tests to check for autoimmune markers or thyroid disorders
- Skin biopsy in rare cases to rule out other skin conditions
- Photographs to monitor progression over time
- Family history analysis to assess genetic risks
Early diagnosis plays a vital role in beginning timely homeopathic treatment for vitiligo and managing its progression.
Why Vitiligo Treatment In Homeopathy
Homeopathic treatment for vitiligo is more holistic in nature, providing the desired results while keeping adverse effects away. Unlike the conventional systems, vitiligo treatment in homeopathy does not use any invasive, abrasive, or harsh procedures that could harm your skin and overall health. Instead, it uses oral medications that are natural in composition, based on the unique symptoms of any given patient, and offer a natural boost to the melanocytes to produce the skin pigment.
Scope of treatment includes:
- Slowing or stopping the spread of white patches
- Reactivating dormant melanocytes in depigmented areas
- Strengthening the immune response
- Addressing the emotional and psychological impact of vitiligo
- Preventing recurrence or flare-ups
- Avoiding harsh topical steroids or UV therapies
- Safe for children and adults alike
By addressing the root cause, vitiligo treatment in homeopathy offers long-term management and visible improvement without side effects. With continued treatment by a qualified doctor, homeopathic treatment for vitiligo can bring about positive changes and heal the patient from within.
