Causes Of Vitiligo

Although the exact cause of Vitiligo is not known, however, some reasons can be attributed to Vitiligo

• Change in Immune System

When some changes occur in the immune system, it can lead to Vitiligo as the variations in our genes can influence melanocytes that can result in Vitiligo.

• Autoimmune diseases

Autoimmune diseases like pernicious anaemia and hyperthyroidism can also result in Vitiligo.

• Heredity

Although it is rare, Vitiligo might pass from one generation to another.

Other causes of Vitiligo include sunburn, stress, and exposure to certain harmful chemicals.

Different Patterns Of Vitiligo

Vitiligo can appear in three types of patterns

• Generalised Pattern

It is the most common type of Vitiligo in which the depigmentation occurs symmetrically on both sides of the body.

• Segmental Pattern

In this pattern, the depigmentation takes place on one side of the body.

• Focal Pattern

In a Focal pattern, depigmentation occurs in a few areas of the body. 

Treatment Options for Vitiligo

There are a couple of options available for vitiligo treatment which a patient can undergo depending upon the severity of the condition. Let’s look at some of the options for vitiligo treatment

• Light Therapy

In light therapy, ultraviolet B (UVB) lights, light boxes, or even medical-grade lasers are used. These lights are made to focus towards the affected areas. It takes a couple of sessions of light therapy after which results appear.

• Depigmentation Therapy

In this therapy, monobenzone is applied to the patches that turn the skin white and also match the colour of the skin with vitiligo.

• Surgery

In surgery, cell transplantation or skin grafting is performed.

Apart from the above options, there are other options too like topical corticosteroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors, etc. You can discuss with the best dermatologist in Jaipur, Dr Priyanka to choose the best treatment option as per your skin and severity of vitiligo.
