Vitiligo

Vitiligo is skin disorder in which the skin's natural pigment, melanin, stops being produced in patches, leaving the skin in a hypo-pigmented state. Vitiligo is more than an unsightly condition, as without the protective function of melanin, the skin becomes quite vulnerable to burns form the sun, and as a result different types of skin cancer. Vitiligo is also considered a type of autoimmune disease and is associated with thyroid disease and even premature ovarian failure. Treatment of this condition can be slow with herbal medicine, but is well the efforts, as Chinese medicine helps correct the underlining systemic condition at the same time as the skin itself.
