Vitiligo
October 19, 2021

Vitiligo is a skin condition that affects millions of people globally. This auto-immune skin disorder causes the destruction of melanocytes (skin pigment) that are primarily responsible for your skin  colour. The loss of melanin causes your skin to lose its colour and results in irregular white patches on skin. Vitiligo often starts as a pale patch and can eventually turn completely white. With time, these white patches on skin tend to spread or become bigger in size. While there are different factors that can trigger vitiligo, it can be managed with the right vitiligo treatment.

Can you stop vitiligo from spreading?

White patches on skin keep growing and slowly cover a major part of the body. If the right vitiligo treatment and preventive measures are taken, then the spread can be controlled to a large extent. Vitiligo white spots first become noticeable in the areas that are most exposed to the sun.

While the exact cause of vitiligo remains unknown, vitiligo is generally triggered by a combination of factors. An autoimmune disorder, genetic factors or environmental factors are the common triggers. For best results, it is important to opt for treatment at the early stages. The following are some of the common signs of vitiligo:

  • Loss of skin colour
  • Premature graying of the hair
  • Loss of colour in the inside of your mouth and nose

Most patients constantly worry about the spread of white patches on skin. It can also negatively impact a person’s self-esteem. This emotional stress can aggravate vitiligo further. However, the progression of vitiligo can occur in several patterns. Based on the vitiligo patterns, its severity can be calculated.

. Protect your skin from the sun: To help minimize skin damage, use a sunscreen every day and wear clothes that protect your skin. This can help reduce the contrast between normal and white skin by making it less apparent.
