Health Advice on Leucoderma

Leucoderma is a skin condition that results in the formation of white patches scattered all through the body. This disease is also known as vitiligo and is a distressing disease. White patches are formed due to loss of skin pigment melanin from the layer of skin.




leucoderma starts with the formation of small white spots on the skin that further develops into large white patches. At the early stage of leucoderma, you can easily cure the disease by taking preventive measures and treating small white patches. If you don't take care in the initial stage then the spots will merge and form broad whit patch in the course of time.


Broad white patches can also cover your entire body, giving a completely white look to your skin.

There are certain home remedies that are time tested for treating initial stages of leucoderma. The best remedy is the use of psoralea seeds, known as babchi. Blend these seeds with ginger juice or cow's urine and grind it to form a powder. Dry this powder in shade and then consume it daily with milk. You can even apply the powder to the affected area. Whether you ingest it or topically apply, in both ways this proves to be the most effective way of treating white spots.
