Leucoderma
dear lybrate user,
the color of our skin is due the formation of a color pigment called melanin. The synthesis of melanin is dependant on the body temperature. However, if the melanin synthesis is decreased or stopped due to any abnormal reason then the skin of that area becomes hypo-pigmented & looks colorless.
Follow the medications as directed:- 1) give him 4 tablets of homoeopathic arsenicum sulph flavum 6x tablets along with a cup of lukewarm water, thrice daily.
2) apply homoeopathic mother tincture ammi visnaga q on the colorless part of his skin & keep that area sunlight for 30 minutes daily.
Continue the aforesaid medication for at least 1 month to observe visible results. However, before starting any medication kindly check whether he is having any loss of sensation on that colorless part of skin. If he experiences slight loss of sensation on that colorless part of skin then you should contact your local dermatologist immediately.
