<s>[INST] hi doc, my son is suffering from vitiligo and his father also has same disease but his is stable and it started 1 year back. we have tried homeopathy for 4 months and after that we are using lukoskin drdo product. with that medicine his patches are fading but at the same time new patches are coming very fast. what should i do? [/INST] Hello anjalinarwal, Vitiligo is a skin condition in which there a pigmented male of variable size and shape in the skin on any body part, with apparently no change in the skin, and it is due to lack of melanin formation by the melanocytes. Your doctor can usually make the diagnosis of vitiligo during a physical exam. There is no known way to prevent or cure vitiligo. However, several methods, including cosmetics, re-pigmentation using UV light therapy, corticosteroid creams, pigmentation of unaffected skin areas, and skin grafting, can be used to improve the appearance of skin severely affected by vitiligo. And this is an eruptive stage in your child where newer patches are coming really fast, later there comes a cycle of patches which become stable and newer patches reduce in number but increase in size. This is not to dishearten you dear, but if u continue with homeopathic treatment u may not find quick response as it is the nature of the disease but surely u may get fewer parches and with time they also can fade away in the long run. It is advisable to visit your homeopath once again to confirm with regarding the treatment through the constitutional medicine. Also u can ask him for Ammo Visage tincture, if u apply the medicine on those spots and make your son sit under sun rays for 10-15 minutes daily it will give you good result. Good Luck,  </s>
