Let us start with an overview of vitiligo:

Vitiligo is a situation where your skin does not produce an adequate amount of melanin. It is an autoimmune disease where your skin and hair become white. It starts from the area around your lips and fingers. Gradually you will develop white patches all over your skin. Irrespective of your skin color and genetic features, you can suffer from vitiligo. But if you have a darker skin shade, then the white patches will be more noticeable.

 

Now a question may arise that what are the symptoms of vitiligo?

Well, you can identify vitiligo by the following symptoms-

  • Premature greying- You will experience sudden premature greying of your eyebrow, eyelash, beard, and scalp hair.
  • White patches- You will develop white patches on your skin. In the beginning, it will be on a smaller scale, but gradually, it will grow.
  • Depigmentation- At first, it will appear on your sun-exposed body parts. It includes your hand, feet, face, lips, and arms. You can experience this depigmentation on your genitalia as well.
  • Loss of color- You may experience color loss in the lines inside of your mouth and the inner layer of the eyes.
  • Irritation- In a few cases, you may experience pain and itching in your body part where you have developed vitiligo.

If you face any of these issues related to your skin, you should opt for proper treatment. While talking about medicine, it is essential to understand the causes as well.

 

So, let us talk about the causes of vitiligo:

The causes of vitiligo are as follows-

  • Immunity disorder- Vitiligo can arise from a disorder in your immune system. When your immune system reacts against your tissues, you can develop those white patches.
  • Genetic- If you have a family history of vitiligo, you are prone to develop vitiligo.
  • Single event- In some people, vitiligo can occur due to unavoidable circumstances like emotional distress or sunburn.
  • Melanoma- It is a situation when your pigment-producing cells become cancerous. Vitiligo can be the result of Melanoma too.
  • Autoimmune conditions- Autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata, Hyperthyroidism, and Pernicious anemia can also lead you to vitiligo.

Though homeopathy can treat vitiligo efficiently, unfortunately, many people turn to homeopathy only when the other treatments fail.
