Our Vitiligo Perspective
Understanding the Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a complex skin condition that involves both depigmentation and repigmentation disorder. It is believed to be influenced by various factors, including genetic susceptibility of having weaker melanocytes or hyper active immune cells which are susceptible or triggered by specific triggers which can vary from person to person and even from one type of vitiligo to another. Triggers may also be specific to certain areas of the body.
These could be factors like deficiencies and derangements, environmental factors, stress etc. While there is no single clear causative factor for vitiligo, research suggests that it is a result of a combination of factors such as weakened cells, exposure to free radicals (toxins), lifestyle choices, diet, and stress. These factors work together and contribute to the development of vitiligo.
The exact cause of vitiligo is still unknown, but it is likely a combination of multiple factors.
To effectively address vitiligo recovery, it is important to intervene at multiple levels and consider multiple treatment options. This may involve addressing the underlying causes and dealing with the affects such causes. By addressing these factors in a comprehensive manner, it is possible to achieve satisfactory results in managing vitiligo.
