Segmental Vitiligo
Also known as unilateral or localized vitiligo, the white patches only affect one area of your body.
Segmental vitiligo is less common than non-segmental vitiligo, although it's more common in children. It usually starts earlier and affects 3 in 10 children with vitiligo.
In rare cases, it's possible for vitiligo to affect your whole body. This is known as universal or complete vitiligo.
CAN HOMOEOPATHY TREAT VITILIGO
Homoeopathy is the system which works on “individualization”. Homoeopathy treats the man as a whole, which ultimately results into removing of disease & it’s symptoms.
Homoeopathic medicine does not suppress the disease,
Homoeopathy treats the dysfunction from the root cause & helps to prevent it from recurring.,
Homoeopathy has the power to treat it & prevent vitiligo from further spread.
Homoeopathic medicine does not contain steroids, antibiotics or any anti- inflammatory medications.
These medicines are safe & effective without any side effects.
The cases of vitiligo which are not extensive respond very well to homoeopathic medicines.
Homoeopathic medicines stimulate the skin pigment melanocytes to generate melanin & therefore helps in regaining the normal skin colour.
It also helps in reduction of destruction of melanocytes.
