What Is The Vitiligo Treatment?
Vitiligo is a condition in which the skin develops white spots due to lack of melanin pigment. It is a persistent and usually long-term illness.
The illness arises when the body’s immune system damages melanocytes (skin cells that give color to the skin).
If the white patches are mild, dermatologists may offer topical creams, or oral medicine to help restore skin color and stop them from spreading. You can also choose advanced therapy Allopathy for Vitiligo treatment.
