Vitiligo is a fairly common condition that causes pale, white patches to develop on the skin. This is because that particular area of skin has little or none of a type of pigment called melanin.

This is the dye-like substance in the skin cells (melanocytes) that gives skin colour and protects it from the suns rays.

Any area of the skin can be affected by vitiligo, but it is most commonly seen in parts that are exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck and hands. It is more noticeable on people with dark or tanned skin.

The condition varies from person to person. In some people only a few small, white patches will appear and progress no further, whereas in others the patches may get bigger and join up across large areas of the skin. There is no way to predict how much of the skin will be affected, and the white patches are usually permanent.

About 1 in 100 people in the UK develop vitiligo. The condition can occur at any age, but begins before the age of 20 in about half of all cases. Both men and women are equally affected.

The exact cause is unclear, however, vitiligo is not infectious and you cannot catch it from contact with an affected person.

Vitiligo results from a derangement of your normal defense mechanisms against infection. The body starts producing antibodies against pigment producing cells of its own skin.Vitiligo is anomaly of  internal immune system of human beings, and currently there are no precise ways to treat this process.

Although the  complete annihilation of the vitiligo from your body is a complex  matter, whereas original color of skin can be brought back.

According to my observation tropical treatment is quite better Cure of   vitiligo because there has no side effect as well as negative effects. Other thing is you can apply it for  some affected part of your body for testing  purposes. And final thing which you need is  tropical treatment is quite faster than homeopathy.  

Thanks to
