Are you suffering from Vitiligo?
Mon Apr 05, 2010 1:51 pm
Vitiligo is more commonly known as
leucoderma, which simply means white (leuco) skin (derma), i.e. a skin disorder
where it loses its normal coloration. It is also medically known as achromia,
which means loss of color. http://www.supercareproducts.com
Basically, Vitiligo can hardly be called as a disease but a skin- disorder that
has more social than medical significance, especially amongst the dark skin
people. Due to retarded melanin formation, there is loss of pigmentation. http://www.supercareproducts.com
The Vitiligo sufferers are observed all over the world, including the white
skin communities. However, epidemiologically most cases are recorded in India (8.8%) and Mexico. Males and females
are affected equally, inclusive of children age group. It may begin at any age.
Childhood vitiligo is not uncommon.
