Frequently Asked Questions
Can vitiligo be completely cured?
Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune condition, meaning medicine can stabilize disease activity, suppress local immune attacks, and achieve substantial natural repigmentation. However, no ethical doctor can guarantee a permanent "100% cure" against future immune flare-ups.
How does repigmentation occur?
Repigmentation typically begins around hair follicles as tiny brown dots (perifollicular islands). As melanocyte stem cells proliferate under therapy and light stimulation, these dots grow and gradually merge to cover the patch.
Is vitiligo contagious or harmful to internal organs?
No. Vitiligo is strictly non-contagious and cannot spread through contact, sharing food, or intimacy. It is an autoimmune pigmentary condition and does not harm internal organs.
Why do white patches on fingers and lips take longer to heal?
Hair follicles serve as the primary reservoir for dormant melanocytes. Because fingertips, palms, and lips naturally lack hair follicles, repigmentation in these acral areas requires significantly more time and specialized therapy.
What is the Koebner phenomenon in vitiligo?
The Koebner phenomenon is when new vitiligo patches form at the site of skin injury, deep scratches, cuts, or tight friction (like tight waistbands). Protecting the skin from physical injury is an essential part of management.
