Having white patches on your skin can be a cause of distress to many. You may be struggling with questions like what causes the white patches on the skin. Are all the white patches on the skin the same? Is there any natural way to cure these white patches on the skin? Wondering if home …
If you are looking for an answer to any of these questions, then you need to consult Kayakalp Global, the pioneers in the treatment of various skin conditions such as white patches or vitiligo
and psoriasis. For quick and efficient skin repigmentation, Kayakalp Global provides the most thorough vitiligo care available, which can aid in curing the condition from the inside out. A skin condition known as vitiligo that manifests as white patches on the skin is brought on by the death of cells that produce melanin. The skin, hair, and eyes all have colour thanks to melanin. These cells are targeted and killed in vitiligo, which results in depigmentation. The precise aetiology of the illness is unclear and may be influenced by genetics, autoimmune conditions, or triggers like stress. Any area of the body might develop vitiligo, which can also damage mucous membranes and hair. It is neither unpleasant nor contagious, but because of how it affects looks, it can be upsetting emotionally. The various treatment approaches try to improve the skin tone, lessen contrast, or even restore pigment. For an accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment strategies, Kayakalp Global’s professional dermatologists must be consulted.

Facts About White Patches The lack of melanin in vitiligo results in white spots on the skin. It affects people of various ages, genders, and nationalities. Potential causes include heredity, autoimmune factors, and environmental stressors. A change in appearance frequently has emotional and psychological effects. Vitiligo affects around 1% of the world’s population. Areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, arms, and feet, frequently acquire patches. The hair and mucous membranes, such as the mouth and nose, may also be impacted by vitiligo. Skin biopsy, medical history, and a dermatological examination are occasionally used to make a diagnosis. Topical corticosteroids, phototherapy, excimer laser, depigmentation, and skin transplants are a few of the available treatments. Consult Now
