Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query . The dark color of the skin is because of melanin pigment produce by melanocytse .

In condition ' vitiligo' the melanin producing cell melanocyte dies due to certain factors which produce white patches ,

The factors responsible for death of melanocytes.
- Disorders in which immune system attacks melanocytes .
- Related to hereditary .
- Trigger by factors like excess sun exposure , chemicals or stress .

I would suggest you to :-

- Protect your skin from sun by applying sunscreen with SPF 50 .

- Soak psoralea seeds in ginger juice for three days . After three days rub them to remove there out covering , then dried then , The take 1 gram poeder with milk daily for 40 days . It is very effective .

- Apply turmeric powder mix with honey for 15 minuts daily.

Consult dermatologist for proper evaluation.

Doctor may prescribe topical corticosteroids , vitamin D supplement, ginkgo biloba or drugs to suppress immune system.

Doctor may also recommend procedure for your skin and lips like :-
- Light therapy.

- PUVA light therapy .

- skin graft .


hope your concern has been resolved.
