Abstract

Vitiligo is a chronic (long-lasting) disorder that causes some areas of the skin to lose their natural color. No one knows exactly what causes vitiligo, but it may be an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks and destroys the cells that produce the pigmentation.
Vitiligo occurs when the cells that produce pigment (melanocytes) die or stop producing melanin, the pigment that gives skin, hair, and eyes color. Patches of affected skin become lighter or whiter.
Although there is no cure for vitiligo, many patients manage to repigment the white spots caused by the disease with the right treatment. Especially in areas as visible as the face. There is no known cure for vitiligo.
There are various treatments that control the disease but nevertheless the result and the constancy that is required to see the improvement makes patients desist from them.
Radiotherapy and Ultraviolet Rays deal with the treatment of chronic dermatoses. A dermatosis is any skin abnormality or appearance of skin lesions.
Phototherapy has a 50-year history of safe use. In all this time there has been no increased risk or worsening of symptoms. Is safely prescribed for adults, children, people who are immunosuppressed, and pregnant or lactating women. It is safe and effective.
