Vitiligo (White Skin Patches)
Vitiligo is a chronic skin disorder that affects the pigmentation of the skin and leads to the formation of white patches on the skin.
Currently, there is no known cure for vitiligo, but many treatment measures can be taken to help control the disease and even make the skin look better.
The management of vitiligo may be different based on the patient’s preferences, the severity of the skin disease, and the body areas affected.
Vitiligo Treatments
- Topical Corticosteroids: These creams or ointments reduce inflammation and slow the immune system’s attack on melanocytes. Best for limited, localized vitiligo.
- Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors: Drugs like tacrolimus and pimecrolimus are used in place of corticosteroids for sensitive areas (face, genitals) to suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation.
- Topical Psoralen Plus Ultraviolet A (PUVA) Therapy: This treatment involves the administration of a drug known as psoralen that makes the skin sensitive to light, followed by exposure to ultraviolet A (UVA) light. This treatment helps to restore the skin color of the affected areas, that is, the white patches.
- Narrowband Ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) Therapy: This entails exposure to a particular wavelength in ultraviolet B (UVB) light that assists in the process of repigmentation of the affected skin.
- Excimer Laser: This targeted laser therapy involves using a beam of UVB light that is focused on the areas of the skin that need melanocyte activity to be initiated and the skin to be repigmented.
- Depigmentation: Depigmentation treatment can be recommended for those patients who have extensive vitiligo or those patients who wish to have a depigmented skin. It entails using a depigmenting agent on the other parts of the body to make the skin have the same color as the affected part.
