vitiligo, symptoms, treatments, support organisatios and lots more

Vitiligo (US, UK, Germany, Australia, Canada and worldwide) is a chronic disorder that causes depigmentation in patches of skin. It occurs when the melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin pigmentation which are derived from the neural crest, die or are unable to function. The precise pathogenesis, or cause, of vitiligo is complex and not yet fully understood. There is some evidence suggesting it is caused by a combination of autoimmune, genetic, and environmental factors. It is also common in people with thyroid disorders. The population incidence worldwide is considered to be less than 1 percent. Non-segmental vitiligo has a greater prevalence than the disorder's other form(s).

Signs and symptoms

The most notable symptom of vitiligo is depigmentation of patches of skin that occurs on the extremities. Although patches are initially small, they often enlarge and change shape. When skin lesions occur, they are most prominent on the face, hands and wrists. Depigmentation is particularly noticeable around body orifices, such as the mouth, eyes, nostrils, genitalia and umbilicus. Some lesions have hyperpigmentation around the edges. Vitiligo is similar in appearance to leprosy, and as such (in countries where leprosy is prevalent), individuals with vitiligo can be stigmatized for the similarities in appearance.In regards to psychological damage, vitiligo can have a significant effect on the mental health of a patient. Psychological stress may even result in an individual becoming more susceptible to vitiligo. Patients who are stigmatised for their condition may experience depression and similar mood disorders.

Non-segmental vitiligo

In non-segmental vitiligo (NSV), there is usually some form of symmetry in the location of the patches of depigmentation. New patches also appear over time, and can be generalised over large portions of the body, or localised to a particular area. Vitiligo where little pigmented skin remains is referred to as vitiligo universalis. NSV can come about at any age, unlike segmental vitiligo which is far more prevalent in teenage years.

Segmental vitiligo

Segmental vitiligo (SV) differs in appearance, aetiology and prevalence of associated illnesses. Its treatment is also different to that of NSV. It tends to affect areas of skin that are associated with dorsal roots from the spine. It spreads much more rapidly than NSV and, without treatment, patches of depigmented skin remain throughout life.

Pathogenesis

Vitiligo is associated with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, commonly thyroid overexpression and underexpression. A study comparing 656 people with and without vitiligo in 114 families found several mutations (single-nucleotide polymorphisms) in the NALP1 gene.The NALP1 gene, which is on chromosome 17 located at 17p13, is on a cascade that regulates inflammation and cell death, including myeloid and lymphoid cells, which are white cells that are part of the immune response. NALP1 is expressed at high levels in T cells and Langerhan cells, white blood cells that are involved in skin autoimmunity.

Among the inflammatory products of NALP1 are caspase 1 and caspase 5, which activate the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β. Interleukin-1β is expressed at high levels in patients with vitiligo. There are compounds which inhibit caspase and interleukin-1β, and so might be useful drugs for vitiligo and associated autoimmune diseases. In one of the mutations, the amino acid leucine in the NALP1 protein was replaced by histidine. The original protein and sequence is highly conserved in evolution, and found in humans, chimpanzee, rhesus monkey, and bush baby, which means that it's an important protein and an alteration is likely to be harmful. Addison's disease (typically an autoimmune destruction of the adrenal glands) may cause vitiligo.

Treatment

There are a number of ways to alter the appearance of vitiligo without addressing its underlying cause. In mild cases, vitiligo patches can be hidden with makeup or other cosmetic camouflage solutions. If the affected person is pale-skinned, the patches can be made less visible by avoiding sunlight and the sun tanning of unaffected skin. However, exposure to sunlight may also cause the melanocytes to regenerate to allow the pigmentation to come back to its original color.

Antivitiligooil is most successful vitiligo skin disorder treatment in all over USA and worldwide.

Home UVB Narrowband Phototherapy is an experimental approach that treats Vitiligo.[citation needed] The exposure to a UVB light comes from a UVB Narrowband lamp that gives a specific wavelength of only 311-313 nanometer. The success rate is very high in Children and in adults when the spots are on the face and neck. Exposure times vary and range from 2 to 3 times per week with a gradual increase in exposure every subsequent session.

The source for the UVB Narrowband UVB light can be special fluorescent lamps that treat large areas in a few minutes, or high power fiber-optic devices in a fraction of a second.

Long-wave ultraviolet (UVA) light from UVA lamps, together with Psoralen, called "PUVA", is given in clinics. It helps in most of the cases. Psoralen can be taken in a pill 1–2 hours before the exposure or as a Psoralen soaking of the area ½ hour before the exposure.

Lately, UVB Narrowband replaces PUVA since this treatment does not involve Psoralen since the effect of the UVB Narrowband lamp is sufficient.

The traditional treatment (if any) given by most dermatologists is corticosteroid cream.

Studies have also shown that immunomodulator creams such as Protopic and Elidel also cause repigmentation in some cases, when used with UVB Narrowband treatments.

Alternatively, some people with vitiligo opt for chemical depigmentation, which uses 20% monobenzone (monobenzylether of hydroquinone). This process is irreversible and generally ends up with complete or mostly complete depigmentation.

In late October 2004, doctors successfully transplanted melanocytes to vitiligo affected areas, effectively repigmenting the region. The procedure involved taking a thin layer of pigmented skin from the patient's gluteal region. Melanocytes were then separated out and used to make a cellular suspension. The area to be treated was then ablated with a medical laser, and the melanocyte graft applied. Three weeks later, the area was exposed to UV light repeatedly for two months. Between 73 and 84 percent of patients experienced nearly complete repigmentation of their skin. The longevity of the repigmentation differed from person to person. In the 1980s, dermatology professor Aaron B. Lerner had pioneered a skin transplantation therapy for vitiligo.

In early 2008 scientists at King's College London discovered that piperine, a chemical derived from black pepper, can aid repigmentation in skin, especially when combined with UV therapy produces a longer lasting and more even pigmentation than previous treatments.

A limited 2003 study in India of 25 patients with limited and slow-spreading vitiligo given orally-taken Ginkgo biloba found it to be "fairly effective therapy for arresting the progression of the disease". A 2008 review of natural health products found studies to generally be of poor quality, but concluded that L-phenylalanine used with phototherapy, and oral Ginkgo biloba as monotherapy showed promise.

Typical sites for generalized vitiligo are areas surrounding body openings, bony areas, fingers, and toes. It can begin at any age but about 50% of the time it starts before the age of 20.

vitiligo symptoms and vitiligo treatment in USA (United State of America) and worldwide

Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition which appears due to the cause of destroying skin pigmentation. As Michael Jackson the King of pop told “I have a skin disorder that destroys the pigmentation of the skin (vitiligo), it’s something that I cannot help”.

Generally, Vitiligo can be affected either on age wise or area wise. About vitiligo skin disorder researchers and doctors have the different theories.

• One theory is that people develop antibodies that destroy the melanocytes in their own bodies.

• An analyst presents a theory that melanocytes destroy themselves.

• Dr Deepak Chopra says “if children have experienced physical or verbal, mental, emotional or sexual abuse, then 20, 30 years later they can develop these autoimmune diseases including vitiligo and lupus”.

• Some people have reported that a single event such as sunburn triggered vitiligo.

• Dr. Wadia says, females are more affected due to their cautiousness towards maintaining of physical and facial beauty and at such time the reverse reaction due to the imbalance diet or over utilizing make ups of facial and skin develops de-pigmentation of skin cells changing towards various sizes and shapes on the skin and gradually appearing as irregular white patches either specific parts of the body.

Exclusive: Photos of Michael Jackson Show Signs of Vitiligo and Needle Punctures

Expert Tells ABC News Needle Puncture Marks on Jackson's Leg in 2002 Photos Are 'Very Unusual'
By LAUREN SHER and TERI WHITCRAFT
July 14, 2009

Exclusive photos of Michael Jackson obtained by ABC News show a serious wound on the pop star's right leg, which a medical expert said appears to be surrounded by unusual needle punctures.

"On the photographs of Michael Jackson, it looks like there was necrosis on his lower leg where there might have been fluid that went into his lower leg," a possible result of an IV that had leaked into the leg, Dr. Debra Jaliman, a leading dermatologist and spokeswoman for the American Academy of Dermatology, told ABC News.

"It looks like there are multiple puncture points from IV placement," she said.

The wound seen in the photos, which were taken in 2002, could have been a result of contact with highly caustic, acidic fluid that would burn the skin and cause it to turn black, Jaliman said.

"If, in fact, he had an IV here, and the IV fluid, which may have been acidic fluid, went into his skin, it might may have, in fact, destroyed the skin," she said. "That's all dead skin that would then make an ulceration underneath that skin."

In the photos, Jaliman highlighted areas of blue discoloration in Jackson's leg and puncture marks, which she said point to needle entry.

'I've worn make-up since I was four'

By Jane Elliott
Health reporter, BBC News


AdvertisementElana Kelly says make-up has been her lifeline
Few of Elana Kelly's friends have seen her without make-up.

But that isn't because she can't face the world without lipstick and mascara.

Elana has vitiligo and has rings round both eyes that are lacking skin pigment.

She has worn make-up every day since she was a small child - but she has decided to take all her make-up off for adverts to raise awareness of the reality of her skin condition.

Now hundreds and thousands have seen her face, but Elana says she still feels too sensitive to stop wearing her "camouflage" in her daily life.

"There were periods when I wished I was able to tell people about my condition," she said.

"But now, even at the age of 29, I don't want to go out on the streets without my make-up.

'Too exposed'

"There are millions of people who do wear make-up each day for different reasons and I am just one of them, but I don't feel I could go out without my vitiligo covered up, which sounds pretty sad.

"But it is just the way it is for me.

"Wearing no make-up for the ads was good. I had been in front of strangers without make-up for a short-time, but with the video a much wider range of people have seen it.

"Of course my family have seen me before without make-up, as has my boyfriend and some very close friends.

"But even people I work with haven't, so doing the advert was a big deal for me."

Psychological damage

The advert, by the Vitiligo Society aims to raise awareness of the condition, which affects half a million Britons like Elana.

It leaves them increasingly vulnerable to the damaging effects of the sun and can also often have a dramatic psychological effect.

Elana, an admin worker from Essex, said the family first noticed she had a problem when she suffered a cut above the eye at the age of three.

The scab healed, but the pigment never returned and gradually the problem grew worse, eventually affecting both eyes.

She said her parents were keen to protect her from any bullying and so researched make-up.

"As a child of four, I have to admit that I was blissfully unaware of any difference between other children and myself.

"I never experienced any animosity, cruelty or name-calling and for that I must be eternally grateful, as not everyone is so fortunate.

"It is only when you are a teenager and start staying over at other girls' houses that it becomes a bit of a pain having to put the make-up on and take it off, and I did not feel comfortable telling people who were not in my family.

"And when you are a teenager it is all about how you look," she said.

Michael Jackson's glove was to hide (vitiligo) skin problem

On July, 9 2009 CNN presented a news about Michael Jackson vitiligo:

Actress Cicely Tyson, a friend of Jackson's, said the two shared a fashion designer in the 1980s.

"All of a sudden, he said, 'I'm doing this glove for Michael,' " she said. "Michael was beginning to develop the vitiligo and it started on his hand.

"The glove was to cover the vitiligo; that's how that glove came into being."

Jackson's dermatologist, Dr. Arnie Klein, told CNN that Jackson suffered from vitiligo, a disease that causes blotches of lightening skin, as well as a form of lupus that led to rashes and flaking of skin on his scalp.

Michael Jackson on Vitiligo:

Oprah: Llet's go to the thing that is most discussed about you, that is, the color of your skin...is most obviously different than when you were younger, and so I think it has caused a great deal of speculation and controversy as to what you have done or are doing, are you bleaching your skin, and is your skin getting lighter because you don't like being black?

Michael Jackson: Number one, as far as I know of there is no such thing as skin bleaching. I have never seen it, I don't know what it is.

Oprah: Well they used to have those products, I remember growing up always hearing "always use bleach and glow", but you have to have about 300,000 gallons.

Michael Jackson: OK, but number one, this is the situation. I have a skin disorder that destroys the pigmentation of my skin, it's something that I cannot help, OK? But when people make up stories that I don't want to be what I am it hurts me.

Oprah: So it is...

Michael Jackson: It's a problem for me that I can't control...but what about all the millions of people who sit out in the sun, to become darker, to become other than what they are. No one says nothing about that.

Oprah: So when did this start? When did your...when did the color of your skin start to change?

Michael Jackson: Oh boy, I don't....sometime after Thriller, around Off The Wall, Thriller, sometime around then.

Oprah: But what did you think?

Michael Jackson: It's in my family, my father said it's on his side. I can't control it, I don't understand. I mean it makes me very sad. I don't want to go into my medical history because that is private, but that's the situation here.

Oprah: So OK, I just want to get this straight, you are not taking anything to change the color of your skin?

Michael Jackson: Oh God no, we tried to control it and using make-up evens it out because it makes blotches on my skin. I have to even out my skin. But you know what's funny, why is that so important? That's not important to me. I'm a great fan of art. I love Michael Jacksonangelo, if I had a chance to talk to him or read about him I would want to know what inspired him to become who he is, the anatomy of his craftsmanship, not about who he went out with last night....what's wrong with....I mean that's what is important to me.





Oprah: How much plastic surgery have you had?

Michael Jackson: Very, very little. I mean you can count on my two fingers. I mean let's say this, if you want to know about those things, all the nosey people in the world, read my book Moonwalk, it's in my book. You know, let's put it this way, if all the people in Hollywood who have had plastic surgery, if they went on vacation, there wouldn't be a person left in town.

Oprah: Mmmm, I think you might be right.

Michael Jackson: I think I am right. It would be empty.

Oprah: Did you start having plastic surgery because of those teen years because of not liking the way you looked?

Michael Jackson: No, not really. It was only two things. Really, get my book, it's no big deal.

Oprah: You don't want to tell me what it is? You had your nose done, obviously...

Michael Jackson: Yeah, but so did a lot of people that I know.

Oprah: And so, when you hear all these things about you, and there have been more...

Michael Jackson: I've never had my cheekbones done, never had my eyes done, never had my lips done and all this stuff, they just go too far...

Oprah: Are you pleased with the way you...

Michael Jackson: I'm never pleased with anything, I'm a perfectionist, it's part of who I am.

Oprah: And so when you look in the mirror now and see the image that looks back at you are there days when you say I kinda like this, or I like the way my hair...

Michael Jackson: No, I'm nev...

Oprah: ....or I'm kinda cute today...

Michael Jackson: ...(giggles)...cute today....no, I'm never pleased with myself. No, I try not to look in the mirror.

Causes of Vitiligo

Melanin is the pigment that gives the skin its characteristic color. Vitiligo is caused by a loss of pigment in the skin, due to destruction of pigment-forming cells known as melanocytes. The exact cause of the destruction of the pigment-forming cells (melanocytes) in the skin is not known. One possible explanation might be that the body's immune system destroys the cells, as in other autoimmune conditions. Although vitiligo affects all races equally, it is more noticeable in dark-skinned people, like Africans but in white skin people it affects less than black people.

Bavchi powder for Vitiligo

Dr. Wadia in his Book Leucoderma says:

The disease which causes white patches on the skin has been known for centuries and different medical sciences are trying to cure it differently.

First and foremost, it is not a contagious disease, but causes a lot of disfigurement particularly in females. There is a lot of mental confusion in one who develops this disease. It additionally involves a social stigma in this country. As such, its treatment is important even from the cosmetic point of view.

Human skin in different parts of the world has different hues. The color of the skin is due to to a pigment called Melanin. It is more in colored people than among whites. When this pigment decreases the skin turns white. It is suggested that the pigment increase, when the parts are exposed to sun or ultra violet rays. Hence, many physicians ask their patients to expose the white spots to the sun after application or ingestion of their favorite medicine. But, in my humble opinion, external applications temporarily turn the skin rose red or dark. at times even blisters are formed. After some time the skin again turns white. One of my patients, who applied probably Bavchi powder, mixed with water, within a day had huge blisters in his feet, which were opened by me and dressed. After the reaction subsided, the skin turned the same color.
