Vitiligo is a chronic skin disorder characterized by the loss of melanocytes, leading to well-defined, depigmented white patches on the skin. It can affect any part of the body, commonly appearing on the face, hands, feet, elbows, knees, and genital area. The exact cause is multifactorial, including autoimmune mechanisms, genetic predisposition, oxidative stress, and sometimes emotional or physical trauma. Vitiligo may be associated with other autoimmune conditions such as thyroid disorders, diabetes, or alopecia areata. While it is not physically harmful, it can significantly impact emotional well-being and self-esteem.
Homeopathy treats vitiligo by aiming to restore pigmentation, regulate immune function, and address the constitutional predisposition of the patient. Remedies are selected based on the location, extent, progression of depigmented patches, associated sensations (itching, burning, tingling), and emotional or constitutional tendencies. Treatment is individualized, targeting both local symptoms and systemic balance to halt progression and stimulate repigmentation.
Depigmented patches commonly appear on hands and fingers, often with a tendency to spread. Patients may feel restlessness, anxiety, or weakness. Symptoms worsen with exposure to cold, fatigue, or emotional stress.
White patches around eyes, lips, or mouth, sometimes with mild itching or burning. Skin may appear dry or sensitive. Symptoms worsen at night, with heat, or after scratching.
Depigmentation progresses rapidly, affecting larger areas of the body, especially exposed regions. Patients may feel fatigued, sensitive to stimuli, or emotionally vulnerable. Symptoms worsen in warm environments and improve in cool air.
White patches appear on feet, ankles, and soles. Patients may have a tendency to chilliness, weakness, or sluggish metabolism. Symptoms worsen in cold, damp weather and improve with warmth.
Depigmented areas may itch, burn, or feel sensitive. Patients experience restlessness, anxiety, or nervousness. Symptoms worsen at night and with cold exposure, improving with warmth and care.
White patches appear or worsen following grief, emotional trauma, or stress. Patients may feel tearful, sensitive, or anxious. Depigmentation may progress slowly but steadily.
White patches on the scalp or hairline, sometimes associated with premature graying of hair. Symptoms worsen with cold or damp weather and improve with warmth or gentle care.
Depigmented areas are sensitive to sunlight, becoming itchy, irritated, or slightly inflamed on exposure. Patients may feel anxious, restless, and fatigued.
Depigmentation occurs on pressure points like elbows, knees, and joints. Skin may feel dry, cracked, or sensitive. Symptoms worsen in cold or damp environments and improve with warmth.
White patches spread gradually with a tendency to enlarge over time. Patients experience weakness, fatigue, or hypersensitivity. Symptoms worsen with heat, exertion, or emotional stress.
Depigmentation associated with fear, worry, or restlessness. Patients may feel anxious about cosmetic appearance, with lesions often spreading during periods of emotional tension.
Depigmented areas may show tingling, prickling, or mild burning. Symptoms worsen with motion or friction and improve with rest or warmth.
White patches appear in growing children, often on fingers, knees, or elbows. Patients may be chilly, weak, and prone to fatigue. Symptoms worsen in cold or damp weather and improve with warmth.
White patches on dry, rough, or cracked skin. Skin may be prone to eczema, scaling, or mild irritation. Symptoms worsen at night or in warmth and improve with gentle care and cool applications.
Depigmentation limited to a few areas such as hands, face, or genital region. Patients may feel fatigued, emotionally sensitive, or indifferent. Symptoms worsen before menstruation, during stress, or with fatigue.
Depigmentation appears or worsens around menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or menopause. Patients may feel emotionally unstable, fatigued, or indifferent. Symptoms improve with rest and cool environments.
Lesions enlarge gradually with spreading patches. Patients feel physically weak, emotionally sensitive, or easily fatigued. Symptoms worsen with heat, sun exposure, or stress.
White patches on vulva, penis, or surrounding areas. Skin may be dry or mildly itchy. Symptoms worsen with heat, exertion, or hormonal changes and improve with rest or cool applications.
Patients with hereditary predisposition develop depigmented patches on exposed areas. Skin may be dry or slightly itchy. Symptoms worsen at night, in warmth, or with emotional stress.
White patches progress slowly over years, with mild associated burning or tingling. Patients may experience fatigue, sensitivity, or occasional anxiety. Symptoms worsen with heat, sunlight, or emotional strain.

Vitiligo is a skin disorder where the pigment‑producing cells (melanocytes) stop working, causing white patches on the skin.
No. Vitiligo is not contagious. It cannot spread from one person to another by touch or contact.
Experts believe Vitiligo may develop due to genetics, auto‑immune imbalance, stress, or skin injury — exact cause is still unknown.
There is no guaranteed permanent cure, but treatments can slow progression and re‑pigment patches in many patients.
Homeopathy aims to balance immunity, reduce spread, and improve re‑pigmentation naturally. Results vary case to case and require long‑term treatment.
