What is Vitiligo?

Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition where the skin loses its natural color due to the destruction of melanocytes (pigment-producing cells). This leads to white patches on different parts of the body, including the face, hands, arms, legs, and even scalp.

While medical treatments like topical creams, phototherapy, and oral medications can help in some cases, patients with stable vitiligo (no spread for at least 1 year) may benefit from Vitiligo Surgery for repigmentation.

When is Vitiligo Surgery Recommended?

Vitiligo Surgery is advised when:

  • The condition is stable (no new patches/spread in past 1 year)

  • White patches are localized and resistant to medical treatment

  • Patient desires cosmetic improvement

  • Patches affect visible areas like the face, hands, or lips
