What is Leucoderma Treatment ?

Leucoderma, also known as vitiligo, is a chronic skin condition characterized by white patches on the skin due to the loss of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. It occurs when the melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) are destroyed or stop functioning.
Early diagnosis and timely treatment can make a big difference. If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of leucoderma, contact us today for expert advice and a personalized treatment plan.

Causes of Leucoderma

  • Autoimmune disorders
  • Genetic factors
  • Sunburn or skin trauma
  • Stress or chemical exposure

Leucoderma is not contagious or life-threatening but can have a significant impact on a person’s self-esteem and emotional well-being.

Signs & Symptoms

  • White or depigmented patches on the skin
  • Commonly appears on hands, face, feet, and genitals
  • Hair in affected areas may also turn white
  • Usually painless, but may spread over time

Dermatological Treatment Options for Leucoderma

1. Topical Medications

  • Corticosteroid creams and immunomodulators are prescribed to reduce inflammation and restore pigmentation.

2. Phototherapy (PUVA/Narrowband UVB)

  • Controlled exposure to ultraviolet light stimulates melanin production and helps repigment the skin.

3. Excimer Laser Therapy

  • Focused UVB light used on small, stubborn patches for faster repigmentation.

4. Surgical Options

  • Skin grafting or melanocyte transplantation may be recommended in stable cases.

5. Depigmentation Therapy

  • Used for widespread leucoderma, where the remaining pigmented skin is lightened to match the white patches.

6. Camouflage Techniques

  • Medical-grade skin camouflage products or cosmetics for covering patches and improving appearance.
