Vitiligo and Pigmentation Disorders at Vyshnavi Hospital

At Vyshnavi Hospital, we understand the emotional and physical impact that pigmentation disorders, such as Vitiligo, can have on individuals. Vitiligo is a skin condition where the pigment cells, known as melanocytes, are destroyed, leading to lighter patches on the skin. These patches can appear anywhere on the body, often starting with small spots that gradually spread. While the exact cause of vitiligo remains unclear, it is believed to be an autoimmune disorder, where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the pigment-producing cells.
Pigmentation disorders like melasma, sunspots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can also cause uneven skin tone, dark spots, and skin discoloration. These conditions may result from various factors such as hormonal changes, sun exposure, or skin injury.
