Vitiligo -its Homeopathic Treatment
June 30, 2007
Vitiligo Treatment ;Homeopathy Can Work Wonders.
Vitiligo (often called as leucoderma) is a disorder where the skin loses its color in patches of irregular shapes and sizes. This is a pigmentation disorder which means that melanocytes (the pigment producing cells) in the skin get destroyed. This results in development of white patches on the skin.
The hairs which are growing in that area may loose their color and turn gray. This disorder also leads to psychological issues relating to appearances and at times in certain individuals (mainly the adolescents and the young) this stress can take enormous proportions particularly if Vitiligo develops on visible areas of the body, such as the face, hands, arms, feet, or on the genitals. They develop very strong emotions of being embarrassed, depressed, or worried about how others will react.
What causes Vitiligo?
The cause for Vitiligo is not very clear but doctors and researchers are beginning to believe that Vitiligo resembles an autoimmune disorder. Which means that the pigment (the matter that gives colour to our skin) producing cells of the skin are destroyed by the body?s own antibodies (defense cells).
In some cases it has been observed that the onset of Vitiligo is related to a psychologically stressful event in the patient?s life. People with a family history of Vitiligo are more prone to develop these white patches. Ninety five percent of all those who develop Vitiligo, start developing symptoms before their 40th year of their life.
Other factors that have been found to be more common with those suffering from Vitiligo are presence of other autoimmune disorders, history of sunburns, rashes and other skin disorders and hair turning grey before the age of thirty five.
What are the symptoms and how does it spread?
People with Vitiligo develop white patches on their skin of irregular shapes and sizes. Vitiligo is more common on the exposed areas for example hands face, neck and arms. It also occurs on covered areas too: – like genitals, breast and legs. In some patients the hair may also turn grey early and in the inside of the mouth, white discoloration may also occur.
The spread of Vitiligo cannot be determined. It may stop completely after the first patch but often these patches do spread. For some patients further development may takes years and for others the large areas can be covered in months. In some patients mental stress has been seen to increase the growth of these white patches.
How effective is homoeopathy?
Homoeopathy is able to give wonderful and miraculous cures in many cases of Vitiligo. This is due to the fact that homoeopathic treatment enhances the natural production of pigments. According to homoeopathic philosophy Vitiligo not a disease in itself but an expression of an inner disturbed state of the body. Thus, the cure should occur at a level where things have gone wrong. In order to archive this, the patient is analyzed on various aspects of mental and physical and familial attributes and also a complete study is done on the psychological-environment that the patient has gone through in his life. The prescription is then based at the deepest level of understanding of the patient?s disturbed inner force. Although many homoeopathic medicines Arsenic Sulph Falvus, Arsenic Album , Baryta Mur and Baryta Carb are known to give good results in Vitiligo; I would again reiterate the fact that real cure of Vitiligo occurs when the prescription is made according to the true principles of homoeopathic philosophy i.e. treating that ?deep causative factor ? which caused this inner disturbance. Also remember that Vitiligo is a chronic disorder and can take considerable time even with the best of the homoeopathic treatment, for it to be completely cured.

Dr Sharma I have vitiligo for past 3 years on left side of my face and I am taking arsenic sulf flav for last 2 and half years. It stopped spreading and getting some skin color dots also in the white patch areas. I have noticed for last one year that recovery process has stopped now but it is not spreading. Should I continue taking arsenic sulf flav or try some other medicine?

PLEASE HELP ME! i have 4 children and live in the ever present sun in the Fresno valley. it is near impossible for me to stay out of the sun, and when i am in the sun, there are obvious new spots. can you do anything to help me? i have contacted every dermatologist with null results. no doctor seems to give any hope at all. you are my last. if you cannot help, can you help me find someone who can???

Dear Dr Vikas Sharma,
My son age 7 has been diagnosed with Vitiligo yesterday. The white marks started to appear about 3 weeks ago with one 1″ dia circle on his lower back, one small rectangular mark on his abdomen and one on left eye. Then two small dots appeared on left ankle.
I am worried as my son is just 7 years old and it could effect his studies and his life. Please advise how can we treat it or at least stop it from spreading further.
Hi doctor,
I have been suffering from vitiligo since last 10 years. I have used asf in different potencies for a long time with which my greying of hair got completely cured. After the curative process came to a halt, I restarted my treatment with phosphorous 200 weekly based on symptom similarity since 1 month. I request you to guide me the best way to tackle this difficult disease as it is spreading to other areas of my body.

Is there any hopes for a vitiligo patient to fully recover from a vitiligo problem that suffers nearly 20 years?
I AM SUFFERING ROM VITILIGO FOR 20 YEARS. TOOK ALLOPATHICFOR 6 MONTHS,HARDLY ANY IMPROVEMENT, SWITCHED TO HOMEOPATHY, INCREASED SOMEWHAT,6MONTHS PASSED, NO IMPROVEMENT, BUT NO INCREASE,15%SURFACE.WHAT TO DO?
Dear Sir,
I happened to see your article in the internet and I am married since 7yrs and after my first delivery I started to get white patches on my breast and fingers for which the doctors advised me to use whit care cream and expose the area to sunlight for 10 min, which also had a good result. However, after 4yrs, when I came back to chennai, now I am carrying the second child also, I am infact shocked to see the vitiligo spreading on my fingers and the elbows. Since, I am pregnant, doctors have advised me to stop all the medicines that I have been taking for pigmentation.
I also have read that during the pregnancy, the progesterone sometimes will hike the pigmentation or the vice versa.
Please advise me whether can I go for homeopathic treatment during pregnancy and is topical application enough till I deliver.
Thanks
