Homeopathic Medicine For Leucoderma (vitiligo)
Leucoderma, also known as vitiligo, is a skin condition characterized by the loss of skin color due to the destruction of melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing pigment. The exact cause of vitiligo isn’t fully understood, but it’s believed to involve a combination of genetic, autoimmune, and environmental factors. Some potential causes and triggers include:
- Autoimmune factors: The immune system may mistakenly attack and destroy melanocytes.
