White Spots (vitiligo)

Vitiligo is a dermatological condition that causes white patches on the skin due to the loss of melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells responsible for skin tone. These patches may appear on the face, arms, hands, scalp or any part of the body. Vitiligo is not contagious, but it is often linked with genetic tendencies, immune disturbances …

Common Causes and Triggering Factors

Although the exact reason behind vitiligo can vary from person to person, some commonly associated triggers include:

  • Family history

  • Autoimmune responses

  • Sudden stress

  • Thyroid disorders

  • Nutritional deficiencies

  • History of skin injury or burns

  • Post-inflammatory pigment loss

A detailed clinical assessment is essential to understand whether the condition is active, stable or spreading.

Types of Vitiligo We Treat

Vitiligo can present in different forms, and accurate categorisation helps in treatment planning. We provide care for:

  • Segmental vitiligo

  • Non-segmental vitiligo

  • Localised depigmented patches

  • Generalised depigmentation patterns

  • Scalp vitiligo with hair whitening

  • Early-stage vitiligo with minimal spread

Each patient receives a personalised treatment strategy based on stage, progression speed and medical history.


Treatment Options for White Patches on Skin

The goal of treatment is to restore colour, improve patch stability and reduce the chances of further depigmentation. Depending on the condition, treatment plans may include:

Medical Therapy

Topical creams, immune-modulating formulations and anti-inflammatory medications are used to support repigmentation and control spread.

Phototherapy Guidance

Light-based therapy helps stimulate pigment cells where medically suitable. Sessions are generally advised according to condition and skin response.

Targeted Procedures

In stable cases, procedures supporting colour restoration and cell stimulation may be recommended. These methods are planned after detailed evaluation.

Combination Therapies

In many situations, vitiligo responds best to a mix of topical applications, nutritional care and clinical sessions designed to support pigment activity.


Expected Results and Treatment Duration

Vitiligo treatment progresses gradually and results vary based on skin type, age, spread pattern and response. Signs of improvement may include controlled patch growth, return of light brown pigment dots and gradual blending with normal skin tone. Regular follow-ups and consistency with advised protocols support better outcomes. Since vitiligo is an unpredictable condition, long-term maintenance and monitoring are key parts of clinical care.


Lifestyle and Skin Care Recommendations

Certain lifestyle measures can help maintain stability in vitiligo cases. Using sun protection, avoiding skin injuries, following prescribed medications, monitoring thyroid parameters and maintaining balanced nutrition support skin health. Gentle skincare habits and controlled sun exposure also play an important role. Long-term skin maintenance is encouraged even after visible improvement.
