Is There a Cure for Leucoderma?

There is no cure for vitiligo. The goal of medical treatment is to create a uniform skin tone by either restoring color (repigmentation) or eliminating the remaining color (depigmentation). Common treatments include camouflage therapy, repigmentation therapy, light therapy and surgery.

Has anyone been cured of vitiligo?

Vitiligo is a skin condition that causes loss of color. There are many treatment options for vitiligo, but there's no cure. Scientists are actively researching treatments to reverse vitiligo.

How do you get rid of leucoderma?

Eating at least 5 walnuts everyday can help you deal with vitiligo. For even better results, crush walnut powder and add water to make a paste. Apply the paste to the affected areas of the skin at least 3-4 times every day for 15-20 minutes. This can help in reduction of the white patches caused by vitiligo.
