LEATHER DISEASE VITILIGO
What is vitiligo ? Vitiligo is a skin condition in which patches of skin loses their color . The total area of skin that can be affected by vitiligo varies between individuals . It can also affect the eyes , the inside of mouth , and the hair . In most cases , the affected areas remain discolored for the rest of the person ' s life , The condition is photosensitive
This means that the areas that are affected will be more Sensitive to sunlight than those that are not . It is hard to predict whether the patches will spread , and by how much . The spread might take Weeks , or the patches might remain stable for months or years . The lighter patches tend to be more visible in people with dark or tanned skin .
Treatment The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) describe vitiligo as "more than a cosmetic problem." It is a health issue that needs medical attention. A number of remedies can help decrease the visibility of the condition Using sunscreen The AAD recommend using a sunscreen, because the lighter patches of skin are especially sensitive to sunlight and they can burn easily. A dermatologist can advise on suitable type.
Phototherapy with UVB light Exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) lamps is a common treatment option. Home treatment requires a small lamp and allows for daily use, which is more effective. If the treatment is done in a clinic, this will need 2 to 3 visits a week and the treatment time will be longer. UVB phototherapy, combined with other treatments, can have a positive effect on vitiligo. However, the result is not totally predictable, and there is still no treatment that will fully re-pigment the skin.
A person with vitiligo is more likely to have another autoimmune disorder, such as thyroid problems, Addison's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, type 1 diabetes, or pernicious anemia. Most people with vitiligo do not have these conditions, but tests may be done to rule
