So what is vitiligo? It is a skin condition in which the immune system destroys skin melanocyte cells (the cells responsible for giving skin its colour.) Vitiligo causes remain unclear however; heredity is the top most contributing factor apart from emotional stress, anxiety or fear. It is so unpredictable that a patient can wake up next morning with new white patches on skin and smaller areas of de-pigmentation can become larger. This can be quite daunting especially when one may think they are so close to completing the treatment. Many people believe it to be hereditary, contagious or worse that there is not treatment available for vitiligo. But the answer is - it can be treated.

The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) describes vitiligo as "more than a cosmetic problem." It is a health issue that needs medical attention. The most common vitiligo treatment options are topical creams, skin grafting and medical tattooing. There may be choice of treatments but every treatment has its own side-effects such as topical creams can lead to weight gain, acne and weakening of bones. Skin grafting is a risky procedure and if gone wrong can leave scars. Also, medical tattooing can have side-effects leading to herpes and can even trigger new white patches on the skin. The truth is most conventional methods require to be continued throughout as they only suppress the visible symptoms.
