What is White Spot?
Vitiligo is a disease in which the spots on the skin lose their color. That is, vitiligo (white stains) is a long-term problem, in which white patches are produced on the skin. In the case of vitiligo (white stain), the rate of loss in skin pigments and its extent information cannot be correctly detected. This disease can affect the skin of any area of the body. Hair and the skin inside the mouth can also be affected. The disease is of any age, gender or ethnic group.
Generally, the skin pigment called melanin is responsible for the colour of hair and skin. Vitiligo (white stain) occurs when cells (melanocytes) that produce the skin pigment melanin (melanocytes) die or stop functioning. Melanin acts to provide colour to the skin and protect the skin from the sun’s UV rays. This condition is not life-threatening or contagious. This can be a stressful situation for the person concerned.

Causes Of White Spot
The exact cause of white stain (vitiligo) disease is unknown. Many factors can contribute to its development. Most researchers believe that vitiligo is an autoimmune disorder, as the body’s immune system attacks the pigment cells of the skin in this condition. As a result the pigment producing cells (melanocytes) die or stop producing melanin. Due to which white spots appear on the skin.

Symptoms of White Spot
The main sign or symptom of white stain (vitiligo) is loss of skin color or white spots on the skin. Generally, these white spots appear on the skin exposed to the sun, such as hands, feet, arms, face and lips. Common symptoms of vitiligo include:
• White spots on the skin and increase over time,
• Head, eyelids, eyebrows or beard hair becoming prematurely brown,
• Changes in the color of the inner layer of the retina,
• Small white spots appear on one side of the body,
• Recurring white spots
• Slight redness or occasional itching on the edges of the spots.

Treatment
The treatment process for white stains (vitiligo) may include medical, surgical, or both. Under the treatment process, an attempt can be made to regain color in the skin and prevent the development of white spots. In addition, the treatment process can be adopted for internal reasons as well. white stains (vitiligo) can take several months to heal by treatment, and stopping the treatment can cause a recurrence of the problem.

• Vitiligo can be focal and localised to one area, or it may affect several different areas on the body.
• Vitiligo may have a genetic component, as the condition tends to run in families.
• Vitiligo is sometimes associated with other medical conditions, including thyroid dysfunction.
• Vitiligo is not painful and does not have significant health consequences; however, it can have emotional and psychological consequences.

Vitiligo can affect people of any age, gender, or ethnicity. There is no cure, and it is usually a lifelong condition. The exact cause is unknown, but it may be due to an autoimmune disorder or a virus. It is not contagious.The skin of a patient suffering from vitiligo doesn’t have any functioning melanocytes (the cells responsible for pigmenting the skin) in the affected areas, and so it is important for them to wear sun cream, given that they will burn much more easily.

Causes:-

The causes of this disease are as follows:-

1. Autoimmune disorders in which the immune system of a patient becomes over reactive and the melanocytes are destroyed.
2. This disease may also occur due to genetic oxidative stress.
3. Stressful events may also lead to vitiligo.
4. Harm or damage to the skin from sunburns or cuts also leads to vitiligo.
5. Exposure of the skin to several harmful chemicals may be a cause.
6. Neural disorders are also responsible for vitiligo.
7. Vitiligo may also happen from viral causes or may be hereditary and passed on from family members.

Symptoms:-

The earliest symptom of Vitiligo is appearance of white spots on the skin. Most commonly involved areas are legs and hands, but it may occur in any part of the body. It starts off as a simple spot in the beginning and gradually, the spot starts getting pale and finally turns white. These signs include:

• Patchy loss of skin colour
• Premature whitening or greying of the hair on your scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows or beard
• Loss of colour in the tissues that line the inside of your mouth and nose (mucous membranes)
• Loss of or change in colour of the inner layer of the eyeball (retina)

Treatment:-

Vitiligo is a skin disease, the major causes of which are still to be discovered. Proper care and treatment should be taken for skin areas affected by vitiligo.

1. Cosmetic Treatment- Cosmetic and skincare products such as sunscreens, dye or makeup can help relieve and hide signs of the condition.
2. Medical Treatment- Oral medication or medicated ointments may be prescribed to treat Vitiligo. Photochemotherapy which involves the use of PUVA rays to induce re-pigmentation may also be prescribed. If the condition has spread to a considerable extent then the physician might advise that the colour from the remaining areas of the skin also be removed in order to match the affected areas.
3. Surgical Treatment- Surgical treatments are at times prescribed which involve skin grafting or tattooing. This is usually prescribed for those with small patches of affected areas. There are some surgery options as well which can cure the problem effectively. These techniques include punch grafting, Grafting of melanocyte-rich tissue (tissue grafting) and Grafting of melanocyte cells (cellular grafting).
