Leucoderma or Vitiligo (Khais)

VITILIGO

Leucoderma or Vitiligo is a skin condition, where white patches appear on the skin due to the gradual decrease in the melanin pigment of the skin. Such patches can appear on any part of the body, but are generally taking form on the areas exposed to sun such as hands and face. The patches are more prominent on the beige and dark complexioned skin. Vitiligo does not cause any organic harm to the person, but it needs to be treated as it creates an unpleasant view.

Ayurvedic View:

Ayurveda explains leucoderma as a condition caused by the morbidity of the liver which further results into the deficiency of pitta.

  • These spots soon spread into patches
  • Such patches are pale in the early stage
  • The patches become white with passage of time and loss of melanin pigments
  • Commonly affected areas – fingers, wrists, genitals, and areas around eyes and mouth
  • Sometimes these patches also appear on scalp, arms, knees and elbows

Causes:

The following are the causes of leucoderma:

  • Mental worry

  • Hereditary
  • Typhoid
  • Worm infestation

Herbal Remedy:
