Hi Kav
The first question is is it there in your family. In Ayurveda we regard it to be apart from skin based causes there are factors which are liver based or abdominal worms or consumption of diet of which combiination is not recommended. As far as treatment is concerned first line of treatment is bavachi based products along with liver tonics and wormicide herbs.

Hi. Mrs.Kav....
Thanks for choosing HCM.,
VITILLIGO.. It is acquired depigmented autoimmune with autosomal..,
dominant genetic problem...hence there is no cure....
But we can control the white patches by regular, long term treatment...,
So many types are there...Vulgaris, Segmental, Acrofacial, Leucotrichia etc..,
Treatment ..not satisfactory...,
1) Psoralens.....8 MOP, TMP orally alternatively
morning 9 Am 11 Am exposure to Sun for 5 mts....
2) Topical ....Methoxasalen lotion...
Clobetasol cream 15 mts before exposure...
3) Steroids......alternatively morning times will give good result..
Betamethasone propionate 1 mg....tappering carefully..
So this treatment will take under care of DERMATOLOGIST...
ok ...good luck..,
