Vitiligo Overview

Q: Is Vitiligo a genetic disease?

Vitiligo disease sometimes runs in families. According to a study mentioned in the research statement for the American Vitiligo Research Foundation, 20% of the relatives of vitiligo patients also have vitiligo, with the highest risks arising for children and siblings of patients. However, the inheritance pattern can be complex as multiple causative factors may be involved.

Q: Can vitiligo spread to others?

Vitiligo skin disease is not contagious in nature; hence it does not spread from one person to another. It is caused due to a combination of autoimmune, genetic and environmental factors.

Q: Can vitiligo disappear by itself?

The cure for vitiligo is currently not known. In some cases, the white spots on skin may disappear without treatment. However, in most cases, vitiligo treatment is required. With right and timely treatment, the symptoms can be effectively managed. Vitiligo homeopathy treatment helps to slow down the progression of de-pigmentation and stimulates re-pigmentation in the existing patches.

The condition vitiligo causes the skin to become colourless. Any race of person can have this skin condition. However, darker skinned individuals will notice it the most as a result of the harsher contrast between their regular skin tone and the white spots caused by vitiligo.
