Types of Vitiligo

There are many forms of vitiligo based on the affected body parts and the degree of depigmentation. The primary forms of vitiligo are as follows:

Non-segmental vitiligo

Representing roughly 90% of cases, this is the most prevalent kind of vitiligo. The face, hands, feet, or other sun-exposed parts are typically where it starts. White patches that are often symmetrical and present over both sides of the body are the hallmark of non-segmental vitiligo.

Segmental vitiligo

This form of vitiligo typically affects younger people and only affects one side of the body. Compared to non-segmental vitiligo, segmental vitiligo is less prevalent, and its course is typically less predictable.

Mucosal vitiligo

Mucosal vitiligo is a form of vitiligo that affects the body’s mucous membranes, including those in the nose, mouth, and genital region. Its primary defining feature is depigmentation (loss of normal pigmentation) of the mucous membranes, which can result in the growth of white patches or spots.

Trichrome vitiligo

This rare variant of vitiligo causes depigmented skin lesions in three unique hues. The three hues, evident in a concentric pattern, are typically dark brown, light brown, and white.

Focal vitiligo

Focal vitiligo, also called localized vitiligo, is a non-segmental vitiligo variant that results in a few small, localized areas of the skin losing some of its pigment. It is characterized by a quick onset and remains stable over time, not disseminating to other body parts. Dr. Harikiran Chekuri provides various vitiligo treatments at Redefine Hair Transplant & Plastic Surgery Center to help control vitiligo and enhance the appearance of the affected skin.

Vitiligo Treatment Options available at Redefine Center

Although there is no known cure for the condition, we offer many options to help manage the symptoms of vitiligo and enhance the appearance of the affected skin. They include:

 1. Topical corticosteroids:

Topical corticosteroids are drugs that aid in reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system. Doing so can halt the disease’s course and lessen the visibility of white patches. However, prolonged use of these drugs may have adverse consequences, such as skin thinning.

2. Topical calcineurin inhibitors:

These drugs act by inhibiting the immune system and are often used to address areas of the skin that are reactive or sensitive to corticosteroids.

3. Phototherapy:

The medical expert employs a device to expose the affected skin to UV radiation during phototherapy. Thie exposure to UV radiation can stimulate melanin production. Melanin is the pigment that gives colour to the skin and enhances the appearance of the white areas. Phototherapy works best when combined with other therapies.

4. Excimer laser:

The excimer laser is a phototherapy that targets the white spots of the skin by shining a particular wavelength of light on them.

5. Skin grafting:

Skin grafting is an alternative approach for those with severe vitiligo. This procedure entails transferring healthy skin from another body area to the affected location. Although it has the potential to be a successful treatment, this involves surgery and has hidden risks.

“Skin grafting is an option for patients whose vitiligo has not changed in at least 6 months,” explains  Dr. Harikiran Chekuri, a renowned plastic surgeon in Hyderabad. “This method is quite effective; however, it may sometimes cause infection and scarring.”

Dr. Chekuri specializes in vitiligo treatment techniques and aims to develop a personalized treatment course. His patients often regard him as the skin specialist who provides the best vitiligo treatment in Hyderabad.
