Is Ayurvedic Treatment Recommended For Vitiligo?

Hi, I read that there is an ayurvedic treatment for vitiligo available? I had it since childhood. I got it probably after some stressful situation at around 4, allmost all pigmentetion disappeared, but later came back. I still have some on my hands and some on my feet, and some small here and there. I would like to treat the hands, for example, since they are the most exposed. I usually do not like to go into the sun, since I get burned on my hands. I do not want to use medication, only natural ayurvedic products, that I have heard exist. Is it possible to treat? It has not changed much in the last 20-30 years. But as I am getting older, it seems to start coming back. Maybe I should be more out in the sun? I am 61, still, I want to try it.

Hello,

As per my clinical experience, vitiligo is immune mediated disorder where the melanin pigmentation disorder gives white patches of varying intensity. There is no Ayurvedic medicine available for this condition and hence kindly confirm truthfulness of your information before using it.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
