Vitiligo (white patch or SAFED DAAG) is
a skin condition in which loss of skin color (pigment) occurs; resulting in
irregular white patches that feel like normal skin but looks different is color. White
patches never harm you physically but unattractive appearance is always
undesirable. It may appear at any age and any part of body. Vitiligo most often
affects the face, elbows and knees, hands and feet, and genitals. Though
difficult to treat, proper medication & surgery by good hands results into
satisfactory results.
Is there any permanent treatment to get
rid of white patches?
Vitiligo is often difficult to treat.
Early treatment options are medication by experienced dermatologist. But once
the spots become stable, the white skin can be removed and replaced by new
normal coloured skin by dextrous plastic surgeon.
What is the right time to perform
surgery on vitiligo?
Once the white spots become stable
(neither increasing nor decreasing) for at least one year, this is the right
time to under go for plastic surgery. Small patches can be directly excised
& repaired, while large spots need removal of white layers & its
replacement by normal coloured skin.
What precautions would you suggest after
vitiligo surgery?
Massage of the area by prescribed
ointments, compression garments and adequate sun-protection is needed for at
least one year to get a good result. With proper post-operative precaution you
can get a nearly normal looking skin.
