About Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a serious skin condition, in the initial stage of this condition the patient can experience white patches or depigmented areas on some parts of the skin. This condition is caused when melanocytes – cells that are responsible for producing melanin are destroyed or stopped working properly. This disruption in melanin production leads to the appearance of white patches that can vary in size and location.
This can affect people of every age group, irrespective of the gender. However, it is more noticeable in people with darker skin tones. The precise origin of this condition is still unknown, but it is believed that it stems from the autoimmune process. In this scenario, the body’s immune system erroneously targets and eliminates melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing skin pigmentation.
The impact of vitiligo extends beyond the physical appearance of the skin. Many individuals with vitiligo may experience psychological and emotional challenges due to the noticeable changes in their skin coloration. As it can cause skin patches all over the body, it can lead to self-consciousness, lower self-esteem, and reduced confidence.

Causes Of Vitiligo
Best Treatment for Vitiligo in Chennai, At Dr. Health Clinic
However, it’s essential to understand that there are now more research advancements and treatment options available than ever before. At Dr. Health, our comprehensive re-pigmentation therapy combines various effective treatments to address Vitiligo.
Pigment Stimulating Topical Applications
These topical applications, used in conjunction with unprotected sunlight exposure, stimulate melanin production from damaged cells.
Immune-Modulating Oral Medication
To counter the immune system’s erroneous response that destroys pigment cells, immune-modulating medicines block the faulty signals causing inflammation and cell damage.
Sunlight and UV Therapies
Exposure to UV rays from sunlight or artificial light facilitates the absorption of concentrated doses of Vitamin D, stimulating melanin production.
Combination Therapy with UVA Light and Oral Medication
This approach is effective for larger areas affected by Vitiligo, combining UVA light therapy with oral medication.
Antioxidant Therapy
Addressing oxidative stress caused by an accumulation of hydrogen peroxide, antioxidant therapy repairs cell damage and restores pigmentation.
Depigmentation Therapy
For widespread and unresponsive cases, depigmentation therapy lightens unaffected areas to blend with the affected ones.
Dietary Supplementation
Advice on a balanced diet with diverse nutrient sources helps in treating Vitiligo. Certain foods or additives that may aggravate Vitiligo should be avoided based on allergies or irritation.
Lifestyle Modifications
In addition to treatment, adopting appropriate skincare and lifestyle changes can be beneficial. Stress reduction is crucial, as it can hinder even the most effective treatments. Managing thyroid and blood sugar levels can help prevent the spread of white patches. Minimizing skin friction and trauma can avoid new lesions. Identifying and eliminating triggering factors such as infections, allergens, worms, or irritants is important. Sun protection is also essential.

My 22 year daughter has large vitiligo spots over her entire body including her face. we have been to so many doctors allopathic, homeopathic, ayurvedic but no results. Then one day our neighbor lady who was already on treatment with Dr. Health told us about this treatment and good results in her case after using medicines from Dr.Pranjal. We immediately rushed to her and after consultation we have built lot of hope that our daughter got cured of vitiligo. Finally we started the treatment. Within first fifteen days we saw lot of redness over her entire patches which we confirmed as a good sign. We the saw brown dots over her face, stomach and leg patches and month after month she got normal skin at least I can say 70% by the end of seven months. My daughter is very happy now as she gained lot of her confidence back as we have seen the little girl going towards depression at times. All thanks to Dr. Pranjal for saving my child’s life.
