Overview
Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition in which the skin’s color turns to white and white patches appear all over the body. This skin disorder causes skin depigmentation, which can be treated with “VITILIGO SURGERY”.
Vitiligo surgery is a tried-and-true treatment for completely repigmenting skin that has lost its colour due to a problem in the pigment “Melanin.” The condition occurs when melanocytes (the skin cells that produce melanin, the chemical that gives skin its colour or pigmentation) are destroyed by the body’s immune system.
Vitiligo Surgery causes the following signs and symptoms:
- White patches
- Discoloration of the skin
- Loss of colour in the inner skin’s tissues
- Many parts of the body, such as the elbows, knees, and cheeks, have depigmentation.
- Melanocyte cells that aren’t working properly
- A genetic occurrence
- Immune dysfunction caused by stress
- Virus or a long-term condition
- It can also happen as a result of sunburn or a cut.
- Chemicals that are harmful to the skin are exposed to a small number of people.
Skin grafts taken from one portion of the patient and used to cover another part are known as autologous (from the patient) skin grafts. Scarring, infection, or a failure to repigment are all possible side effects. This is also known as micro grafting. This is a procedure which is performed in OPD on the same day, the patient is not required to stay in the hospital for longer or get admitted.
Micropigmentation is a type of tattooing that is commonly used on the lips of vitiligo patients.
