Best Vitiligo Doctors in Delhi

Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin disorder marked by the loss of melanocytes, resulting in white patches on the skin. It is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, although the exact cause remains elusive. The primary symptom is the appearance of white patches on the skin which can appear anywhere but are commonly observed on the face, hands, and feet. While treatments such as topical medications and phototherapy can manage vitiligo by restoring lost skin colour and preventing new patches, they do not cure the disease.

In Delhi, rising pollution levels have been linked to triggering autoimmune disorders such as vitiligo, making it particularly important for residents to monitor their skin health diligently. The best doctors for vitiligo treatment in Delhi can be found at Apollo Hospitals, where renowned skin disease specialists provide comprehensive care.

Types/Stages of Vitiligo

There are two main types of Vitiligo:

  • Non-Segmental Vitiligo (NSV): This is the most common type, affecting nine out of ten people with vitiligo. It presents as symmetrical white patches appearing on both sides of the body.

  • Segmental Vitiligo (SV): This less common form causes white patches that appear on one side of the body. It tends to develop faster than NSV but stabilises after 6-24 months.

Symptoms of Vitiligo

Symptoms of Vitiligo may include:

  • Depigmentation resulting in white patches on the skin, often on the face, hands, feet, arms, and mucous membranes.

  • Premature whitening or graying of hair on the scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, or beard.

  • Loss of colour in the tissues that line the inside of the mouth and nose (mucous membranes).

  • Patches that sunburn easily.

  • Itching in the affected areas, particularly when vitiligo is spreading.

Tests to Diagnose Vitiligo

Vitiligo treatment doctors’ diagnostic process typically involves:

  • Physical Examination: Dermatologists at Apollo Hospitals Delhi examine for characteristic white patches on the skin.

  • Wood’s Lamp Examination: This ultraviolet light lamp aids in viewing vitiligo-affected areas more clearly.

  • Blood Tests: These are done to check for other autoimmune diseases associated with vitiligo.

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

  • Eye Exam: Conducted to check for uveitis, an inflammation of the eye sometimes present in individuals with vitiligo.

Treatment or Surgery Options for Vitiligo at Apollo Hospitals in Delhi

At Apollo Hospitals Delhi, some of the best vitiligo treatment doctors customise treatments according to the patient’s condition and needs. Treatment options include:

  • Topical Medications: Corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors are applied to stimulate repigmentation.

  • Phototherapy: Narrowband UVB light therapy can treat larger areas of the body.

  • Surgical Treatments: Skin grafting and autologous melanocyte-keratinocyte transplantation are performed to manage the condition.
