What is Vitiligo?

Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition characterized by the loss of pigmentation, leading to white patches on the skin. It occurs when melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing melanin, stop functioning or are destroyed. While the exact cause is unclear, it is often linked to autoimmune factors. Vitiligo can affect any area of the body, including the face, hands, and scalp, and its appearance may spread over time. Although it is not harmful or contagious, vitiligo can impact emotional well-being. Treatments like topical therapies, phototherapy, and advanced options such as Xtract Laser can help restore pigmentation and improve the skin’s appearance.

What causes eczema?

Vitiligo occurs when melanocytes, the cells that produce skin pigment, are destroyed or stop functioning. While the exact cause is not fully understood, it is believed to be linked to autoimmune activity, where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy melanocytes. Genetics may also play a role, as vitiligo often runs in families. Additionally, environmental factors like stress, skin injuries, or exposure to certain chemicals might trigger or worsen the condition in some individuals. Though not contagious or harmful, understanding its potential causes can help guide effective management and treatment options.

How to treat eczema

Treating vitiligo focuses on restoring pigmentation and slowing its progression. Options include topical creams, such as corticosteroids or immunomodulators, to reduce inflammation and stimulate pigment production. Phototherapy, including narrowband UVB light treatments like the advanced Xtract Laser, can effectively target depigmented areas to promote melanin production. In some cases, oral medications or skin grafting may be recommended for more extensive vitiligo. At Team Dermatology, we customize treatment plans to meet each patient’s needs, helping to restore confidence and improve skin appearance.
