Best Vitiligo Doctors in Kolkata

Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin condition marked by the loss of melanocytes, the cells that produce skin pigment, leading to distinctive white patches on the skin. Though the specific cause remains unidentified, it is believed to originate from a blend of genetic and environmental factors. The primary symptom is the presence of white patches on the skin, generally appearing on the face, hands, and feet.

Kolkata has seen an increase in cases of vitiligo due to genetic predisposition and environmental factors like exposure to harsh sunlight. However, patients can rely on the best doctors for vitiligo treatment and skin disease specialists at Apollo Hospitals, who are skilled at diagnosing and treating this condition.

Types/Stages of Vitiligo

Several types or stages of Vitiligo can be identified:

  • Generalised Vitiligo: Characterised by symmetrical white patches on multiple body parts.

  • Segmental Vitiligo: Marked by white patches on one side of the body.

  • Localised Vitiligo: Limited to certain areas of the body.

  • Focal Vitiligo: Smaller patches occurring in a few areas.

  • Universal Vitiligo: Affects most of the skin surface and hair.

  • Mucosal Vitiligo: Primarily affects mucous membranes.

Symptoms of Vitiligo

Several symptoms can indicate the presence of Vitiligo:

  • Appearance of white patches on the skin.

  • Premature whitening or greying of hair, including eyebrows, eyelashes, and beard.

  • Discolouration in the mucous membranes inside the mouth and nose.

  • Patches that turn white over time.

  • Skin areas turning white or grey due to loss of pigment.

Tests to Diagnose Vitiligo

Vitiligo treatment specialists’ diagnosis involves several tests:

  • Physical Examination: A skin disorder specialist examines for characteristic white patches on the skin.

  • Wood’s Lamp Examination: This UV light helps make the affected areas more visible.

  • Blood Tests: These may be recommended to check for other autoimmune diseases associated with Vitiligo.

  • Skin Biopsy: A sample of skin is examined under a microscope to check for the absence of melanocytes.

Treatment or Surgery Options for Vitiligo at Apollo Hospitals in Kolkata

Vitiligo treatment doctors at Apollo Hospitals offer several treatment options:

  • Topical Medications: These include corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors that stimulate repigmentation of the skin.

  • Phototherapy: Narrowband UVB light therapy is used to treat larger affected areas.

  • Surgical Treatments: For localised or segmental vitiligo, skin grafting and autologous melanocyte-keratinocyte transplantation are offered.
