Image
  Vitiligo is indeed a skin condition characterized by white spots. Patients with vitiligo have a range of medical choices available to them for this complex and long-lasting condition. Let us have a look at the different vitiligo therapies available today. What causes Vitiligo? Melanin seems to be the pigment which gives our skin its color. The skin cells which contain this pigment therefore die or actually are unable to absorb it in Vitiligo. It is believed that factors such as heredity, environmental pollution, stress, sun damage, and one's own particular immunity invading and killing skin cells are to blame.

  Today, vitiligo therapy will require the use of medications or otherwise surgery. But even so, the relative inefficacy of both medications is well known, with somehow an elevated risk of potentially adverse side effects, whilst being expensive and out of reach for the majority of people. Steroids, photo chemotherapy, immunomodulators, as well as depigmentation therapy are among the clinical vitiligo therapies accessible. Steroid Treatment Steroid creams are added to spots of white skin in order to restore the initial skin color. The cream must be used for at least three months in order to see some difference. The disadvantage of this therapy is that it can cause unpleasant side effects like increased resistance to infection, migraine headaches, as well as vision disorders.

Depigmenting agents or skin bleaching-lightening agents are cosmetic products whose function is to correct some of the skin hyperpigmentations (skin spots that appear on the skin over time). This paper addresses the origin of hyperpigmentation, the methods of skin color lightening, and the different depigmenting substances used. Hyperpigmentations can be produced or aggravated by different factors such as internal treatments with photosensitizers (sulfa or estrogen) or external (Roentgen or ultraviolet rays, cosmetics). Hyperpigmentations have also been recorded in cases of gynecological, pituitary, thyroid, or adrenal disorders. Lately, it has been observed that the use of anovulatory, mixtures of estrogens and progestogens than condition a state of artificial pregnancy, also cause hyperpigmentation. Methods Two of the main methods to clarify skin color by reducing skin pigmentation are: bleach already formed melanin, and prevent new melanin from forming (can be inhibited

Monobenzone exerts a permanent and irreversible depigmenting effect, whose mechanism of action acts on melanocytes, reducing melanin segregation. Available studies show that Monobenzone increases the production of melanin in melanocytes. It increases the degradation of melanosomes, inhibits tyrosinase, and destroys membranous organelles. The mono benzyl ester of hydroquinone is a depigmenting agent that produces permanent depigmentation. It was excluded from its use in conventional depigmenting treatments, reserving only for permanent depigmentation of residual body areas in patients. However, it is a resource that, although valued by the prescribers, has little documentation on results and form of application. From the statistical point of view, 75% of those who use the treatment are women, predominantly dark-skinned people, with an average duration of vitiligo of 15 years and that in more than 80% has a greater affectation of 50% of the body surface.
