Vitiligo is a skin condition marked by the loss of pigmentation, leading to white patches on the skin. These patches can appear on any part of the body, including the face, hands, and arms.
Vitiligo is caused by the destruction or malfunction of melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin pigment. While vitiligo is typically painless, it can sometimes cause white itchy patches on the skin that are challenging to manage without targeted vitiligo treatment.
Coral Dermatology
Vitiligo can occur for various reasons. Identifying the underlying cause is key to effective vitiligo treatment. Common causes include:
The body’s immune system mistakenly attacks melanocytes, leading to the loss of pigmentation.
A family history of vitiligo or autoimmune diseases can increase susceptibility to this condition.
Exposure to certain chemicals or significant sun damage may contribute to the development of white patches on the skin.
Both emotional and physical stress can sometimes trigger or worsen vitiligo symptoms, including eczema-like white patches on the skin.
Coral Dermatology
At Coral Dermatology, we offer a variety of vitiligo treatment options that address pigmentation loss and reduce the appearance of white patches on the skin. Our approach includes:
Topical Corticosteroids
These creams help to reduce inflammation and may restore pigment to white patches, especially in early-stage vitiligo.
Light Therapy (Phototherapy)
Controlled UV light therapy is effective for some patients, stimulating melanocyte production and reducing the appearance of white itchy patches on the skin.
Immunomodulating Creams
Medications that help control the immune response can prevent further loss of pigmentation and help reduce white patches associated with eczema-like symptoms.
Each vitiligo treatment plan is customized to treat your symptoms and skin type. As a result, you will have lasting relief and improved skin clarity.
