Leucoderma is a skin-whitening phenomenon caused due to the loss of pigments in the upper layer of skin. It should not be stigmatized as a disease, as it creates mental stress in the patients and directly affects their self-esteem, ultimately resulting in them being less willing to socialize. There is a similar situation of skin whitening known as vitiligo, but there is a major difference between both of these, which helps distinguish them from each other.
Leucoderma is essentially driven by an external factor like cuts, wound healing, and sunburns, while vitiligo is caused by internal auto-immunity disorders. Let’s discuss in detail this white skin patch disorder and the Leucoderma Ayurveda treatment.
