Home / Vitiligo

Disease Name: Vitiligo

Introduction:

Vitiligo is a skin condition where the pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) are destroyed, leading to white or light-colored patches on the skin. It can affect any part of the body, including the face, hands, and even hair. The condition isn’t harmful or contagious, but it can impact a person’s appearance and emotional well-being. Vitiligo often begins gradually and may spread over time.
Dr. Manoj Kocheta is widely regarded as one of the best Ayurvedic doctor in Pune, Mumbai and Nagpur, known for his holistic healing and effective natural treatments.

Causes of Vitiligo:

Autoimmune reaction (immune system attacks pigment cells)

Genetic predisposition or family history

Skin trauma (cuts, sunburns)

Hormonal changes

Exposure to certain chemicals

Associated autoimmune diseases (e.g., thyroid disorders, type 1 diabetes)

Oxidative stress (cell damage due to free radicals)

Symptoms of Vitiligo:

White or pale patches of skin

Loss of skin color in the mouth, nose, or eyes

Premature graying of scalp hair, eyelashes, or eyebrows

Symmetrical patches (commonly on hands, face, and joints)

Change in the color of the retina (in rare cases)

Often no itching or discomfort

Gradual spread of patches over months or years

Diagnosis of Vitiligo:

Physical skin exam – visual inspection of patch patterns and locations

Wood’s lamp test – uses UV light to highlight pigment loss

Medical history – including family history and associated autoimmune conditions

Blood tests – to check for thyroid or other autoimmune disorders

Skin biopsy – rarely needed, done in uncertain or unusual cases
