What this page covers
Vitiligo is a skin condition characterized by the loss of pigment, resulting in white patches on various parts of the body.
At Dr. Divya's Skin Clinic, we offer medically sound, evidence-based treatments to stabilize pigment loss and support repigmentation. Early dermatologist consultation is highly recommended to improve treatment outcomes.
Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks pigment-producing cells (melanocytes). Treatment aims to stop active progression and stimulate pigment cells from hair follicles or surrounding skin.
Clinical evaluation involves identifying the type of vitiligo (segmental or non-segmental) and assessing if the condition is active or stable. Treatment depends on patch location, size, and activity of the condition.
