This is also known as vitilgo and it usually runs in the family, you should check with your parents siblings as well as their cousins to find out if you have a family history of this disorder. Leucoderma is not completely curable except for claims of full recovery made by ancient medicinal methods such as Ayurveda and Irani medicine. Modern medicine can help you to control it. In any case, please do understand that there is no other imminent problem associated with this disorder. It does not impact your life in any way except for the appearance factor. You should visit a dermatologist and determine what the problem you are suffering from is exactly, in the first place.

A proper and physical medical examination is the only way you can know if you are suffering from any such reactions. It is better to go to a dermatologist or a skin specialist, since this is a problem involving the skin.

It is also possible you are suffering from hypo pigmentation, which is a disorder wherein the body reduces its production of the pigment that adds color to skin. But even if you are suffering from this problem, there would have to be other medical reasons for it. Please keep in mind that the outward manifestation of loss of skin color is merely a result of something that is going on within the body. You can start taking some simple measures at home to improve the situation. One of the first things you could do is increase your intake of cabbage, as this is known to help with working positively for the disorder to leucoderma. You can also make a paste of clarified butter and turmeric root and apply this to the white patches. This is also helpful in healing them to some extent. If you cannot find fresh turmeric root, you can also use turmeric powder for the same purpose. A mixture of sandalwood powder and rose water is also very cooling and helpful in soothing your skin. Try to use this treatment at least twice a day.
