What is Vitiligo?

Vitiligo is a skin condition in which the pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) stop functioning or are destroyed, leading to the development of white patches on the skin. These patches can appear on the face, hands, feet, lips, scalp, or other parts of the body.

The condition may progress gradually or remain stable over time. Although vitiligo is often confused with leucoderma, a proper diagnosis by a vitiligo specialist in Pune is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment. With early diagnosis and advanced vitiligo treatment, many patients can achieve improved skin pigmentation and better disease management.

Vitiligo and leucoderma are often used interchangeably, and clinically they describe the same loss of skin pigment. Vitiligo is also distinct from psoriasis, which causes red, scaly, raised patches rather than depigmented white patches. Getting the right diagnosis first is what determines whether medical, phototherapy, or surgical treatment will work best for you.

Causes & Symptoms

What Causes Vitiligo?

The exact cause of vitiligo remains unknown, but several factors are believed to contribute to its development.

Common causes and risk factors include:

  • Autoimmune disorders that attack pigment-producing cells
  • Family history or genetic predisposition
  • Emotional or physical stress
  • Thyroid disorders and other autoimmune diseases
  • Skin trauma or repeated friction
  • Certain chemical exposures
  • Oxidative stress affecting melanocyte function

Although vitiligo cannot always be prevented, early diagnosis and treatment can help slow disease progression and improve treatment success.

Common Symptoms of Vitiligo

The symptoms vary from person to person depending on the extent of pigment loss. You may notice:

  • White patches on the face, hands, arms, feet, or neck
  • Symmetrical depigmented patches
  • Premature whitening of scalp hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, or beard
  • White patches around the lips or eyes
  • Loss of colour inside the mouth or nose
  • Gradual enlargement of existing patches
  • New patches developing over time

If you notice any of these symptoms, consult a qualified vitiligo specialist in Pune for an early diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.

Your treatment plan depends heavily on which type you have and whether it is stable or actively spreading — this is assessed during your consultation with Dr. Pradeep Kumari.

Types of Vitiligo

Vitiligo isn't one single pattern — it appears in a few distinct forms, and recognizing which type you have helps determine the right treatment approach:

  • Vitiligo Vulgaris (Generalized) — the most common form, with patches distributed symmetrically on both sides of the body.
  • Segmental Vitiligo — occurs in a one-sided (unilateral), asymmetric pattern, often spreading along a single area or nerve segment.
  • Acrofacial Vitiligo — affects the fingers, toes, palms, soles, and areas around the eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Focal Vitiligo — one or two small, closely set patches limited to a single area, without a clear pattern.
  • Lip-Tip Vitiligo — patches restricted to the lips and the tips of the fingers and toes.
  • Universal Vitiligo — the rarest and most extensive form, with loss of pigment across almost the entire body.

How Is Vitiligo Diagnosed?

An accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. At Skin & Hair Surgery, evaluation typically includes:

1

Clinical Skin Examination

A visual assessment of the patches, their pattern, and distribution.

2

Wood's Lamp Examination

A special ultraviolet light that helps identify depigmented areas not clearly visible in normal light.

3

Medical History Review

Checking for family history, autoimmune conditions, or thyroid disorders that commonly accompany vitiligo.

4

Blood Tests (where indicated)

To rule out associated autoimmune conditions.

5

Skin Biopsy (in select cases)

Used only when the diagnosis needs to be confirmed or differentiated from other pigment disorders.

This evaluation helps Dr. Pradeep Kumari confirm the type and stability of your vitiligo before recommending medical or surgical treatment.

At Skin & Hair Surgery, Dr. Pradeep Kumari performs a thorough evaluation to recommend the most suitable medical vitiligo treatment or surgical vitiligo treatment based on your condition and treatment goals.

Types of Vitiligo Treatment

There is no single treatment suitable for everyone. At Skin & Hair Surgery International, we offer personalized medical vitiligo treatment and surgical vitiligo treatment based on the type, severity, and stability of your condition.

✚

Medical Vitiligo Treatment

Medical treatment is recommended for early or active vitiligo to help control disease progression and restore skin pigmentation. Treatment options include:

  • Topical medications, including topical corticosteroids and topical immunomodulators such as Tacrolimus and Pimecrolimus
  • Oral medications (if required)
  • NB-UVB Phototherapy
  • Excimer Laser Therapy (308nm)
  • Psoralen Photochemotherapy (PUVA) — for select cases
✦

Surgical Vitiligo Treatment

For patients with stable vitiligo who have not responded to medical treatment, vitiligo surgery in Pune may be recommended. Surgical options include:

  • Punch Grafting
  • Skin Grafting
  • Melanocyte Cell Transfer
  • Epidermal Cell Suspension

These advanced procedures help restore natural pigmentation and improve the appearance of white patches.

Vitiligo Treatment Procedure

  • Step 1: Clinical Evaluation

    Dr. Pradeep Kumari carefully examines the white patches, reviews your medical history, and determines the type and stability of vitiligo.

  • Step 2: Skin Assessment

    The affected areas are evaluated to understand the extent of pigment loss and identify the most suitable treatment approach.

  • Step 3: Personalized Treatment Planning

    Based on your condition, a customized treatment plan is created. This may include medical vitiligo treatment, phototherapy, or surgical vitiligo treatment.

  • Step 4: Treatment Sessions

    Medical therapies are administered over scheduled sessions, while surgical procedures are performed under strict sterile conditions using advanced techniques. Medical therapies such as phototherapy are typically continued over several months, since vitiligo responds gradually rather than immediately.

  • Step 5: Follow-up Care

    Regular follow-up visits allow the dermatologist to monitor progress, adjust the treatment plan if required, and provide guidance for long-term skin care.

Vitiligo Treatment Cost in Pune

The vitiligo treatment cost in Pune depends on several factors, including the type of vitiligo, the size and number of white patches, the treatment method (medical or surgical), and the number of sessions required. After a detailed consultation, Dr. Pradeep Kumari provides a personalized treatment plan and a transparent cost estimate based on your condition.


Vitiligo treatment is generally a gradual process — medical therapies such as phototherapy are commonly continued for 6 to 18 months to achieve visible repigmentation, so cost is tied as much to duration and number of sessions as to the treatment type itself. We recommend discussing a session-wise estimate during your consultation so you know what to expect before starting.

  • Avoid excessive sun exposure
  • Do not scratch or rub the treated skin
