Vitiligo and Pigmentation Disorders at Vyshnavi Hospitals

At Vyshnavi Hospitals, we recognise the emotional as well as physical challenges associated with pigmentation disorders such as vitiligo. Vitiligo is a condition in which melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin colour, stop functioning or are destroyed, resulting in lighter patches on the skin. These patches may appear on any part of the body and often begin as small spots that gradually expand. Although the exact cause of vitiligo is still not fully understood, it is widely linked to autoimmune activity, where the body’s immune system mistakenly targets pigment-producing cells.

In addition to vitiligo, other pigmentation concerns such as melasma, sun-induced spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can lead to uneven skin tone, dark patches, and visible discoloration. These conditions may develop due to factors like hormonal changes, prolonged sun exposure, skin injuries, or inflammation. Our dermatology specialists focus on accurate diagnosis and personalised care to help restore skin balance and improve overall appearance.
