Homeopathy In Vitiligo(Leucoderma)
Homeopathy in Vitiligo (Leucoderma) can be very helpful. Vitiligo, also known as Leucoderma, causes white patches on the skin due to the loss of melanocytes—the pigment-producing cells. These cells produce melanin, which gives skin its natural color. When the body stops producing melanin in certain areas, the skin loses color and develops white patches.
You’ll often notice these patches on the face, hands, forearms, and feet. Vitiligo affects about 1% of the world’s population, and it appears more prominently in people with darker skin tones.

Types of Vitiligo
Doctors classify vitiligo based on how it spreads:
-
Localized Vitiligo affects a few specific areas.
-
Segmental Vitiligo appears on one side or segment of the body.
-
Generalized or Bilateral Vitiligo causes symmetrical white patches on both sides of the body.
What Causes Vitiligo?
Researchers haven’t pinpointed one clear cause, but several factors may trigger it:
-
Autoimmune reactions – the immune system attacks healthy pigment cells.
-
Genetics – family history increases risk.
-
Associated medical conditions like pernicious anemia or thyroid disorders.
-
Emotional stress, which may worsen the condition.
Is Vitiligo Contagious?
No, vitiligo doesn’t spread through contact. It doesn’t threaten your physical health, but it may affect self-confidence and emotional well-being, especially when it appears on visible areas.
