Vitiligo - How Can Homeopathy Resolve It?

Vitiligo is a skin disorder that leads to the appearance of white patches on the skin surface. The patches appear in random places, with very less underlying order to their arrangement. The cause of this disease is the impairment of skin melanocytes, structures that give skin its dark, or natural, pigment. This can be a result of the body attacking its own cells, making vitiligo an autoimmune disease.

Vitiligo does not occur to people in discrimination of gender and sets on early in life. This means that you will be affected irrespective of whether you are male or female, and will get it before you pass your 20’s completely. This disease may be hereditary. The diagnosis is made once you get patches of discolouration on your skin, and you will tend to get them rather quickly too.

What are the early signs of vitiligo?

The early symptoms of vitiligo include-

• Patchy loss of skin colour
• Premature greying of the hair follicles
• Change of colour of the retina
• Loss of colour of the mucous membrane

Some spots on the body may be more vulnerable to vitiligo. This includes the parts exposed to sunlight and parts that have suffered an injury in the past. The folded regions in your skin, like the underarms, are more vulnerable to this condition.

How does Homeopathy help treat vitiligo?

Unfortunately, conventional treatment does not offer a permanent cure to this condition. In most cases, doctors/skin specialists recommend homoeopathy treatment for managing the symptoms of vitiligo.

There are several reasons you should choose homoeopathy over conventional medicine vitiligo-

• Homoeopathy provides tailored treatment. It takes account of your personality and medical history and comes up with a treatment procedure custom made for you.
• The effects last for a longer duration. This is due to the customized treatment that homoeopathy affords.
• Homoeopathy provides a holistic treatment, which takes care of your mental state and lifestyle too, along with your physical state.
• The ingredients used in the preparation of homoeopathy medicines are natural and mild as compared to conventional medicine. Therefore, there are no risks or side effects involved in the procedure.

Vitiligo is a skin deformity that is still stigmatized in some parts of society. While the exact causes of this disease are not known, it can travel in the family. Its effects are irreversible, but you can manage them with the methods homoeopathy dictates, like those above.
