Vitiligo Treatment in Nagpur

What is Vitiligo?

Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition where melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) are destroyed, resulting in white patches on skin. It can affect any body part and progresses unpredictably — sometimes remaining stable for years, sometimes spreading rapidly.

Although vitiligo is not painful or contagious, its visible impact can cause significant emotional distress. With today’s treatments, repigmentation is achievable in many patients, particularly when therapy is started early.

Common Symptoms

Our Treatment Approach

Dr. Ukande designs a personalised vitiligo management plan based on the extent of involvement, disease activity, body site, and your response to treatment. Options include:

• NB-UVB PhototherapyNarrowband UVB light therapy — the gold standard for widespread vitiligo, administered 2–3 times per week to stimulate melanocyte activity and repigmentation.
• Topical CorticosteroidsPrescribed for localised patches to stabilise disease activity and encourage repigmentation in affected skin areas.
• Topical Tacrolimus / PimecrolimusSteroid-sparing immunomodulators preferred for sensitive areas such as the face, neck, and skin folds.
• PUVA TherapyPsoralen combined with UVA light for selected cases where NB-UVB is not sufficient or available.
• Combination TherapyPhototherapy combined with topical agents for enhanced and accelerated repigmentation results.
