Vitiligo is a skin condition where areas of skin lose their pigment. These patches become pure white. It is estimated that around 1% of the world’s population suffers from vitiligo. The disease can affect any race, but it affects more people with darker complexions. Vitiligo most often appears on the face, elbows, and knees. It also commonly occurs on mucus membrane surfaces, such as the lips or eyes.
The exact cause of vitiligo isn’t known. However, research seems to indicate that multiple factors are involved in triggering this autoimmune disease which usually begins at puberty or early adulthood. Most cases are thought to be started by melanocyte stem cells destroyed by the body’s own immune system defense mechanism when something goes wrong. Autoimmune disease is when the body’s defense mechanism destroys its cells and tissues. Vitiligo is not contagious and cannot be passed on to other people.
The symptoms of vitiligo usually appear as small, white patches which develop gradually over time and become more prominent as more pigment cells or melanocytes are destroyed by the immune system. When these pigment cells fail to function correctly, the skin loses color in those areas where there isn’t enough melanin (pigment) left in the skin cells. This often appears as a pale area on the skin with no color at all. Only one or two spots may start small, then increase slowly into large patches of lighter-colored skin surrounded by standard skin color. Most people with vitiligo have less than ten spots. However, there is no limit to how many patches can develop and occur on the body treatment for Vitiligo
There are currently no known cures for this disease. With effective treatment, most patients see a notable improvement in the appearance of their skin and may even regain some of the pigment that was lost. There are various ways and methods used to treat vitiligo. These depend on the extent of your condition and whether it affects just one small area or several significant areas. The two most common types of treatment involve light therapy or depigmentation therapies, which reduce melanin production from the remaining cells.
Vitiligo can be treated with homeopathy to reduce the extent of this condition and offer a more natural solution without chemicals or drugs. Homeopathic remedies have been used in treating skin conditions such as vitiligo for many, many years. Other homeopathic remedies help patients suffering from vitiligo by lightening the skin color and dealing with blue-black marks during treatment.

Homeopathic remedies have been used since the early 1800s to treat a variety of conditions.

The fact that remedies made from natural substances are least likely to cause side effects makes them the best choice for home    remedies.
After starting on your natural vitiligo treatment course, it usually takes about one week for the first results to show up. After that, you will notice that the disease slows down its activity and eventually begins to recede. This is why it is essential to maintain a constant supply of homeopathic medicine for vitiligo so that the white patches don’t appear again. Your body needs time to heal itself completely, but there will be no more signs of vitiligo once it does.
