Vitiligo/ Leucoderma (Safed Daag) Symptoms & Treatments

Vitiligo is a chronic skin disease caused by a weak immune system. The exact cause of vitiligo is not known. But through many previous studies, it can be concluded that a poor immune system is one of the major causes of leucoderma. A weak immune system destroys the skin cell generating pigmentation. Due to depigmentation, white patches on skin started forming at some parts of the body. These white spots are developed in small patches on some areas of the body but gradually these white patches are spread across the body. Some of the most common symptoms of vitiligo are as followed.

Greying of Hair at an Early Age: Vitiligo/ Leucoderma patients will notice that their hair is becoming grey/white at a very early age. This is a very significant symptom of vitiligo. You may also observe that your eyebrows, eyelashes are also turning white.

White Patches on Skin (Safed Daag): People suffering from vitiligo will observe that small white patches/white spots on their face, hand, and other parts of the body have started forming. This is nothing but decolourisation of the skin due to loss of pigmentation. This is the most prominent vitiligo symptom.
