What is the treatment for VITILIGO?

Answer 1

As regards Cure in vitiligo, Different people use the term »Cure« in different context. Some use this term for complete eradication of illness from the body, while others are concerned only with re-pigmentation of the existing spots.

If you mean complete eradication of the disease from you system, that is a tricky matter. Vitiligo results from a derangement of your normal defense mechanisms against infection. The body starts producing antibodies against pigment producing cells of its own skin. No definite causes are known, and so are the remedies. This is a generalized abnormality of your immune system, and there are currently no acceptable permanent means to halt this process.

The damage to pigment producing cells manifests as patches of skin, which have reduced, or no pigment. This is what bothers you, us and every one else.

You cannot cure or halt it, but you can manage the local manifestations (white patches) using topical or oral treatments.

If you disease is not widespread, and is limited you can go for a topical treatment. The one I used and found beneficial is the once form where I got this material.

VITILIGO (Safed Daag)

I have completed my graduation B.A.M.S (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicines and Surgery) from Haridwar Gurukul Kangri. I have completed my M.D. in Lucknow University and I am practising in Lucknow and working with different pharmaceutical company as technical adviser and promoter. I have also worked as Lecturer, Reader & Professor in different Ayurvedic College. This is some information about Vitiligo (Safed Daag):

This is a non-infectious disorder of skin; where white lesions (Patches) are formed. Vitiligo is caused by stoppage of melanin (Colour pigment) formation by melanin producing cell, melanocyte; as a result depigmented macules are formed.

These macules may vary in size and shape and can be located in any part of body even on mucus membrane of lips and genitals

The common areas affected are face; hand; feet; axillae; groins; trunk.

The areas which are subjected to friction and trauma are usually involved; and anywhere in skin white depigmented Scar is formed Vitiligo can also be precipitated due to these causative factors:

1. Persistant pressure of string of underwear or in a person who wear tight string of under wear

2. Use of plastic slippers (over dorsa of feet)Plastic Bindi and Rubber gloves

3. Use of rubber brassieres

In Ayurveda all the skin ailments are usually described under the head "Kusth"

Vitiligo in Ayurveda classical text is described as "Svitra" or "SHVETA KUSTH" while classifying Kusth in its 18 main types; Ancient Ayurvedic Erudite had omitted Vitiligo due to its non infectious nature

The lesion of Vitiligo is painless and remains sensory unlike leprosy.

Except the cosmetic defect Vitiligo is an absolutely harmless disease.

TREATMENT

There is a common myth about the Vitiligo that it cannot be cured but contrary to this; remarkable repigmentation can be achieved in every patient and its spread can be arrested; provided that patient follows dietary restrictions and take appropriate treatment for prescribed duration.

A proper assessment of known causative factor of Vitiligo; such as plastic slippers; gloves; and other plastic materials; pressure or traumas is very mandatory and if any such factor instruct patient to discard them.

The Ayurvedic concept regarding the treatment of Vitiligo is comprehensive

Both Sodhan (Purifications) and Saman Chikitsa is being advocated for the treatment

Sodhan is chiefly performed with liquid extract of Kakoudambur (FICUS HISPIDA) with sugar lump.

Saman Chikitsa is mainly composed of:

A. KASTHA AUSHADHI (Herbal drugs )

B. RAS AUSHADHI (Herbo- mineral drugs)

A. In group of Kastha Aushadhi there are mainly 2 types of drugs:

1. Photo Sensitizing Drugs

2. Blood purifiers

1) Photo sensitizing drugs: It includes Psoralea corylifolia (Bavachi) Ammi Majus (Aatri lal) Semicarpus anacardium (Marking nut) and Ficus hispida (Kakoudambur).These Drugs are used locally as well as systemically with sun exposure.

Sun exposure is usually advised after 3 hours of oral administration; and 45 minutes of local application of the medicines at least for 10 minutes. These drugs are given once a day during daytime only; because without sun exposure these drugs cannot initiate repigmentation.

2) Blood Purifiers : As Svitra (Vitiligo) is a disease of Rakta Vikrati(Auto immune disorder)Therefore blood purifying drugs like Curcuma longa ; Eclipta Alba ;Tinospora Cordifolia ; Hemidascus indicus ; Acacia catechu ;Acaranthes aspera are used to redress the blood morbidity.

B. Ras Aushadhi (Herbo-mineral drugs): It includes chiefly Ras Manikya, Taal Sindur, Sameer Pannag Ras, and Talkeshwar Ras. These drugs act like an Immuno Supressant and usually used in those patient where spread of disease is very fast to arrest the spread of disease.

TAMRA Bhasm; KASHISH Bhasm; are also used to initiate repigmentation.

After initiation of repigmentation; treatment must be continued till the desired complete repigmentation of all the lesions is achieved. But some stubborn lesions especially of mucosal surface of palms and fingers tips; sometimes respond very poorly or incomplete.

These residual repigmented area can be subjected to camouflage .For this Paste made from Mehndi (Henna) leaves is applied to affected area or lotion made from root of Plumbago Zeylenica in absolute alcohol is painted over skin. This impart natural colour which last for two or four days.
