Om Sai Ram.

Please see a skin specialist at the earliest. Such skin patches need to be treated at the early stages, if at all these are likely to spread. Don't take them lightly, and see a doctor as soon as you can. We will pray to Baba that it is nothing serious.

The medical term for white spots on skin is vitiligo or leucoderma. It’s a skin disease in which the skin loses its color due to some genetic or environmental causes. The white spots appear as patches of white skin without pigment.

White spots on skin are common in people who suffer from autoimmune diseases. One of these diseases is adrenocortical insufficiency. The adrenal gland is responsible for producing a hormone called corticosteroid. This disease occurs when there is a deficiency of this hormone in our body. Because of this reason the most common treatment as suggested by doctors for vitiligo is corticosteroid cream.

Another treatment for the cure of white spots on skin is exposure to sunlight for long durations of time or artificial phototherapy. Cells that are responsible for pigmentation become active when the skin if exposed to light.

Melanocytes are cells located in the skin that cause pigmentation. A recent advancement in the medical science has made it possible to transplant these cells from some other part of the body to the affected skin area. As a result of this transplantation vitiligo or white spots on skin can be completely cured.

Cosmetics can also be used to cover up the white spots. However, a medical treatment should be employed to control the disease as it may become widespread and uncontrollable. It should also be known that since this disease is inherited, it cannot be prevented. Because of this reason, a good and effective treatment is required in order to avoid psychological effects, frustration and embarrassment.

There are some other skin conditions or disorders in which the skin loses its color and becomes either of lighter or darker shade. Before using any of the treatments for vitiligo it is better to consult a dermatologist and confirm the symptoms.

Most of the time only topical treatments are suggested by doctors for skin disorders including vitiligo, acne and eczema. However, some oral pills may also be prescribed if the condition is severe.

Remedies to cure the disorder

One of the best known remedies for this disorder is the use of radish leaves. Grind the leaves into a paste and mix in white arsenic vinegar. Keep the mixture over night and then apply it on the affected area and keep it for a few hours. The mixture reacts with the skin to clear the patches. You will notice a change in the pigmentation of your skin within 2 weeks.

Another effective remedy uses turmeric and mustard seed oil. Mix turmeric with water in a ratio of 1:8. Heat the mixture till it reduces to 20 percent of the consistency. At this time the paste will be thick. Now when it cools down; add about half a liter of mustard seed oil. Now heat the mixture to evaporate all the water and have only a mixture of the oil and turmeric. Add this to your skin for a few hours every day and you will notice a visible difference in your skin pigmentation.

Red clay mixed with ginger powder and vinegar is also an effective remedy. All you have to do is massage this into your skin for a few minutes and let the paste dry. Wash it off with warm water. It helps to bring back any lost pigmentation.
