Leucoderma (Vitiligo) - Complete Profile

 

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.
