Vitiligo is a skin condition in which white patches appear on different parts of the body. This happens when the skin loses its natural pigment called melanin. Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes, which give your skin, hair, and eyes their color. In people with vitiligo, these pigment cells stop working or die, leading to the loss of color in patches.

Vitiligo can appear anywhere, on the face, hands, arms, feet, or even inside the mouth. It can affect people of all ages, genders, or skin types. While vitiligo is not dangerous or contagious, it can affect a person’s self-confidence, especially if the patches are on visible areas.

The exact cause of vitiligo is not fully known, but it is believed to be an autoimmune condition, where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the pigment cells. Genetics also play a role—if someone in your family has vitiligo, you may have a higher chance of developing it. Sometimes, physical or emotional stress, sunburn, or certain chemical exposures can trigger or worsen the condition.

At Dr. Neha Sodhi’s Skin Hair & Laser Clinic, we offer advanced and customized vitiligo treatments in Jalandhar based on the size, location, and progress of the patches. Treatment options may include medicated creams, UV light therapy (phototherapy), oral medications, and micropigmentation to restore color in the affected areas. In some cases, laser therapy is also used to stimulate pigment-producing cells.

Getting treatment for vitiligo is important—not just for appearance, but also for emotional well-being. Early treatment can help slow the spread of white patches and even bring back natural skin color in many areas. With regular care and expert guidance, the condition can be effectively managed.
