Leucoderma, also known as vitiligo, is a rare skin disease characterized by white spots and patches. The white patch or spot is called as leucoderma and when it occurs without any preceding disease it is called Vitiligo. Leucoderma in literal term means white skin. Vitiligo and Leucoderma are not incurable. It depends upon choice of treatment you take. Through that either it can get cured or can get complicated. Mostly herb based Ayurveda treatment can not harm you and in most of the stages it can cure it if the treatment is taken from an Ayurvedic Vitiligo Specialist. Leucoderma or vitiligo, which produces white patches in the skin, is not a genetic disease. It is an acquired condition, probably of autoimmune etiology. It is also not due to an infectious cause, and it does not spread by contact.
