1. Once you find a de-pigmented area on your skin with prominent border margin, it could be a Leucoderma spot. Immediate attention can help you to deal with it correctly. Please note all the de-pigmented areas cannot be Leucoderma as some lightning occurs also due to lack of calcium or due to intestinal worms especially in small kids.
2. Rushing to a dermatologist cannot help much as Leucoderma is much related to immunology. Skin Doctors can help to diagnose it. But medicines like steroids pills and applications are of little help with temporary results which can complicate it.

It is seen that junk food is the most common reason behind the formation of toxins inside the body. The formed toxins gradually disturb the immune system and the stage of ‘autoimmunity ‘can arise which is the most accepted reason of Leucoderma and Vitiligo.
4. Detoxification of the body is extremely helpful. Once detected with Leucoderma, one must form distance from chemicals whether it’s a medicine or daily use detergent. These could act like bleach and can help in faster spreading of spots.

6. Some lifestyle changes can also help in dealing with Leucoderma. Chlorine aggravates white spots. So, avoiding swimming in artificial pools can help in spreading control of spots. Keeping your mind fresh can also be helpful. Yoga and meditation for a few minutes daily can help in mental calmness and to deal with depression.
7. Choosing the correct treatment can help the most. Herbal treatment is seen to be only positive treatment in Leucoderma and vitiligo conditions. Especially Ayurvedic treatment based on herbs can help in dealing with it. Ayurvedic vitiligo specialists can be consulted for white spots treatment. Herbal medicines can help in spread control as well as pigmentation and coverage of the white spots.                                                                                                                                                                                            Meeting a vitiligo specialist online or by personal consultation can help a person to deal with his or her Leucoderma spots. Correct guidance along with herbal medicines can heal the spots permanently.

The white spots over body with prominent border margin are the signs of Leucoderma. People get to know about it only after its occurrence. Generally there are no known symptoms of it. It is seen to happen in any age. More sufferers are there in Asia and Middle East.

Most known and accepted cause of Leucoderma is autoimmunity. A condition in which body immune system gets disturbed and as a result the body cells get into the stage of self-destruction. The cells which produce melanin pigment – melanocytes if gets destroyed, results into nil production of melanin pigment and forms a colourless white area over the skin. But most known reason of Leucoderma is that it starts after a cut, burn, accident or due to some chemical or drug allergy over skin.

Various cases of Leucoderma are seen which has history of a burn or an injury. Complete erosion of melanocyte cells after an accident or injury could cause white spots even after healing of the injured area.

• Plastic allergy which develops from slippers or other wearable is seen culprit for Leucoderma in many cases.
• Deodorant allergy or perfume allergy is also responsible for a white spot as seen in some cases.
• Too much use of harsh soaps or sanitizes for hand wash can lead to skin allergy and can trigger white spot formation.
• Touch of other chemicals, sealants regularly can also cause a white spot if you have much sensitive skin.

Treatment of Leucoderma is based on principles of maintaining immunity and re-pigmentation. These two basic principles of healing can be found only in Ayurvedic treatment type. Treatment with herbs and herbal formulations under Ayurvedic system are seen most effective and safe for Leucoderma. The two aspect of healing is done with herbs under guidance of an Ayurvedic Leucoderma specialist through which spreading control and pigmentation is done with no side effects. Normal initial results of recovery are seen in few weeks which later develop complete healing of a white spot. It’s safety assures that this kind of Ayurvedic treatment remains safe even for small children.

Vitiligo and Leucoderma are similar disorders and line of treatment also remains same for both. Leucoderma is accidental while vitiligo is self-generated disorder.

Ayurvedic treatment for Leucoderma also guides about food restrictions which are responsible for spreading control as well as for pigmentation. Mainly vitamin c, carbonated drinks and other sour food items gets restricted. Some lifestyle changes are also advised under Ayurvedic treatment of Leucoderma as restriction of chlorinated water swimming etc.

The complex nature of vitiligo already makes its treatment tougher. Autoimmune condition of body in vitiligo generally takes time to respond with the treatment.

But along with a good herbal Ayurvedic treatment if a patient follows some rules, he or she may respond very fast with the treatment and chances of getting completely healed could be much higher and faster as compared to other sufferers.

Vitiligo treatment results after following food restrictions

These are some of the rules which has to be followed for fast and successful vitiligo treatment:

• Food restrictions– This is the most important one as whatever intake you do, will have direct impact on your white spots. Vitamin C slows down the pigmentation rate which is an adverse condition in vitiligo. To restore and maintain pigmentation, its rate should be enhanced. So, citrus fruits and other juicy fruits including their juices should be avoided in vitiligo.
• Similarly animal and fish protein slows down pigmentation, so has to be cut completely from the menu.
• Fermented food products as curd, yogurt etc. are also seen to be reducing the pigmentation process. These should not be taken in vitiligo condition.
• Soda bi carbonate drinks like soft drinks should be avoided.
• Alcohol should not be taken in vitiligo as it aggravates spreading.
• Specially kids are seen to be replacing their main home food for junk food. It should not be done in regular manner as it hampers to immunity.
• Some lifestyle activities also relate with vitiligo like frequent change in atmosphere can lower your immunity if done regularly. So, temperature variations should be avoided if happens in regular basis.
• Swimming in chlorinated water is seen to be aggravating vitiligo. It should not be done.
• Similarly water park visits may affect vitiligo adverse.
• Untimely intake of food can cause serious damage to body metabolism. So this condition should be avoided.

These are some known examples which has been observed and experienced by an Ayurvedic vitiligo specialist.

Vitiligo is not an incurable disease. The approach towards its treatment should be positive and the choice of treatment should be risk free and free from chemical interactions.

After you have seen a white spot on your skin, you must see a dermatologist or specialist for confirm diagnosis. Please note that the consultation is only taken for diagnosis in case of a modern medical Doctor appointment as his prescribed medicines could be steroids either oral or application, immunomodulators in form of de-worm capsules. The role of allopathic medicines in vitiligo is widely known to be complicating vitiligo. So, such temporary treatments could be devastating and should be avoided.

Vitiligo & Ayurvedic treatment

Mostly Homeopathy treatment is seen to be aggravating vitiligo. So such risk should also not be taken.

After confirm diagnosis one has to find an Ayurvedic Vitiligo specialist either locally or online. It has been seen that specialised Ayurvedic treatment for vitiligo is also possible through online or video consultation.

Under this treatment the root cause of vitiligo which is ‘autoimmunity’ gets treated through herbs which do perfect work by improving body metabolism. Another set of herbs with their photosensitive action starts pigment deposition over the white spots. Initial results can be seen under 2-3 months in specialised Ayurvedic treatment.

You must also follow food restrictions in vitiligo if you have diagnosed vitiligo. Diet restrictions are almost 25% influential in vitiligo. Mainly food products containing Vitamin C should be avoided. Citrus fruits and juices should be stopped. Fermented products such as curd, yogurt, bread and some South Indian food items like idli etc. should be avoided. Red meat, sea food, fish should not be taken as the protein inside inhibits pigmentation process. Alcoholic drinks and other carbonated drinks should be avoided as it slows down the pigmentation process.

Doing yoga and meditation can really help in faster healing of white spots. Daily 15-30 minutes yoga can do miracle along with Ayurvedic vitiligo treatment.

So, in place of getting into panic situation, if you think and do wisely, you can stop and treat vitiligo successfully.

The daily routine and food habits have changed a lot. The addition of junk food, wafers, chocolates etc. from more than permissible quantities has actually disturbed the body metabolism. This has been affecting adversely and as a result it causes autoimmunity, a condition in which body cells gets destroyed by the defense cells inside the body. Small children are more vulnerable to it as small disturbance in immunity can cause autoimmunity in them.

Vitiligo is an autoimmune disorder and mostly it occurs due to food and dietary reasons in small kids. Intake of non-vegetarian food with milk is common among them and can be seen as a prominent cause of vitiligo spots in children.

Recently the junk food like pizza, burger, noodles etc. is also found to be getting as a replacement for the main food items. In countries like India in which the body system is not use-to to this kind of food stuff, is causing metabolic problems and also found to be disturbing immunity system. In other countries like USA, UK, Australia etc. , the percentage of vitiligo patients are less but in children it is getting much due to lack of awareness about the vitiligo food restrictions.

Another important cause of vitiligo in children is excess use of cortisone, steroids etc. or use of harsh antibiotics for longer time. These affect adverse on immunity. As a result autoimmune problems like vitiligo gets started in kids.
