Introduction
Leucoderma is a chronic skin disorder in which the natural skin pigment (melanin) reduces or disappears, causing white patches on the body. It is not contagious but affects the confidence and mental well-being of the patient. Homeopathy helps by improving immunity, balancing systemic functions and stimulating re-pigmentation naturally.
Causes of Leucoderma
- Autoimmune reaction damaging pigment cells.
- Genetic tendency.
- Hormonal imbalance or thyroid issues.
- Skin injury, burns or chemical exposure.
- Long-term mental stress and anxiety.
- Vitamin B12, folic acid or Vitamin D deficiency.
- Chronic skin diseases.

- Patches slowly grow in size.
- Hair in affected area also turns white.
- Patches more visible in sun exposure.
