Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Vitiligo is a disease in which the pigment cells of the skin called 'melanocytes' are destroyed in certain areas of the body. In these areas, there is loss of skin colour in the form of depigmented or white patches. Vitiligo may be regarded as an autoimmune disease as the cause for it is not known. There is no cure for vitiligo but several treatment options are available. Treatment may help make the skin look more even. The choice of treatment depends on:
(i) number of white patches
(ii) patch(es) distribution
(iii) treatment the person prefers to use
Medical treatment in the form of a combination of ultraviolet light therapy (UVA) with creams would work for most persons. Surgical treatment include skin grafting. Kindly consult Dermatologist for clinical evaluation and then plan for appropriate course of treatment.
Hope the information provided would be helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S
