In India the older term for vitiligo was ven kushtam -- which means "white leprosy". The skin changes seen in vitiligo can bear a likeness to the skin changes seen in leprosy.
The social stigma that is so prevalent - especially in India --against people with vitiligo is regrettably understandable since India has also one of the highest incidences of leprosy in the world, which can be visibly confused with vitiligo.
The cure for vitiligo itself has been known for 75 years through extensive medical research done by MD's long ago, and that research was then corroborated and expanded upon by subsequent generations of MD's. This knowledge of the actual cause and cure of vitiligo (without any skin treatments whatsoever) is near impossible for the lay person to find now, and has been conveniently forgotten by a profit-oriented medical system.
This information can, however, be found in an easy-to-read book written by an MD and called "Vitiligo: Your Doctor Will Never Cure You, You've GOT to do it YOURSELF." That inexpensive and eye-opening book is exclusively available through www.curevitiligotreatment.com
