Vitiligo Treatment in India: Say Bye-Bye to Skin Diseases

Our cells contain a skin-coloring pigment called melanin, produced by melanocytes. When the melanocytes stop producing melanin, our skin starts to lose color in the form of white patches. This condition is known as vitiligo. It is an autoimmune disorder suffered by 1% of the human population. Celebrities like Canadian supermodel Winnie Harlow suffers from this condition. Vitiligo treatment in India is gaining momentum around the world due to its cost-effectiveness and high success rates. Although there is no cure for the condition, medical advancements have made it possible to keep the disorder in check.

IRT 4978 and all ensuing drama:

I want to start off by saying, I would never directly accuse anybody of faking, even if I have doubts, I'd rather err on the side of caution.

However, you can't pretend that there isn't a HUGE influx of people who are just play-acting for attention to jump on a trendy bandwagon.

That's not to say I think 100% of them are lying intentionally, I think a good portion are just being mislead as to what DID even is, and are too eager for community, connection (and yes, attention too) to second guess anyone. Loads of tiktoks provide instructions for "discovering" or "programming" new alters, and what they're describing is basically just the process of. Coming up with OCs? Like, if you're just thinking real hard about your blorbos that is NOT the same as having dissociative identity disorder.

I could see how it could be fun and interesting as a creative exercise, and a method of self-exploration, to associate certain facets of yourself with different characters. BUT!! THAT IS NOT! WHAT DID IS!! And it is NOT the same as living with a debilitating mental disorder as a result of trauma! You can play with your OCs in your head, but by god you have to come up with a different term for it, instead of using an actual medical descriptor. And it doesn't give you permission to throw tantrums when people won't give you special treatment for a disorder you don't have.

I am normally the FIRST person to say "hey, just let people have fun!" But this is NOT "harmless fun!" You lot talk so much about respecting self diagnosis, but what about someone who may actually have the condition, trying to do more research, but all they can find are thousands of teenage rpers who just want to show you their cool new OCs, Alastor the Radio Demon With Vitiligo and Eric Cartman But Like A Different Version Where He's Nicer.

If you want to play dolls inside your mind just install the Sims.

Writing Facial Difference

As always, this is based in personal contact with individuals in the community I’m writing about, as well as personal research. Many of these things are subjective and limited in scope. Take everything with a grain of salt, and if you have an issue with anything I’ve said, or just a different perspective, please feel free to question, comment, or clarify!

Vocab

Facial difference is exactly what it sounds like. Many resources define it more technically as anything above the neck that is visibly different from the majority of other people. This term is used by everyone from burn survivors to people with cleft lips, to people with vitiligo. Note that facial difference does not necessarily mean disability.

Visible difference is related to facial difference, but even broader. Visible difference is anything about one’s body that is visibly different from the majority of other people. Not all disabilities are visible, and not all visible differences are disabilities.

Congenital differences are those that one is born with, which can be the result of an inherited condition, random mutation, or genetic condition. A genetic condition is congenital, but a congenital condition is not necessarily genetic. In the case of facial difference, examples include any number of craniofacial conditions.

Acquired differences are those that occur in the course of one’s life.  Examples include scars or burns. 

Episodic facial difference is a visible difference that comes and goes. Examples include rashes or skin irritation.

A condition is a set of symptoms that have a common cause. Condition is a good word to describe visible difference or disability in a neutral, nonspecific way.

A syndrome is a set of symptoms that occur together whose cause is not known or understood. Syndrome, while neutral, is a medicalized term and is not often used to describe visible difference or disability in a nonspecific way.

Survivor is preferred to victim in describing facial difference acquired through injury. For example, “burn survivor” is vastly preferred to “burn victim,” “acid attack survivor” is preferred to “acid attack victim.”

Someone may have a visible disability that makes their face look different, but this isn’t usually referred to as facial difference if it’s part of a broader diagnosis. For instance, people with achondroplasia, a common form of dwarfism, have distinctive facial features that are part of this condition, but aren’t likely to describe themselves as or identify with the facial difference community.

Avoid: deformed, disfigured, defect/birth defect. A specific diagnosis/description is preferred, or the more neutral phrasing of “genetic condition/medical condition.”

Disfigurement is in some places a legal term, so may be used in that context. I have not personally encountered or read of anyone who would describe themselves as disfigured or wants to be described that way in a personal context.

Medical Aspects

Does your character’s facial difference affect the way they breathe? They could use supplemental oxygen or an inhaler to open their airway. They might have a trach or a BiPap or C-Pap they use at night. What effect does this have on their ability to exert themselves physically or what environments they can tolerate?

Does your character’s facial difference affect the way that they eat or drink? Are there foods or liquids they can or cannot chew or swallow? Are they at increased risk for choking, and if so, how do they manage that? Do they eat or drink by mouth at all? How does this affect where they eat or drink, and with whom?

Does your character’s facial difference affect the way they speak? In order to produce standard speech, people make use of their throats, vocal cords, tongue, and lips. Are there sounds your character can’t make? Is the volume of their voice affected? If speech is difficult, what other communication methods might they use?

Does your character’s facial difference affect one or more of their five senses? How does that affect the rest of their life? What adaptations would they have made?

Does your character need to care for their face in different ways than a person without their difference? They might use different methods of skincare, take medications, or have increased support needs.

Does your character’s facial difference affect how their face moves, particularly in terms of expression? Facial expressions communicate a lot to the people around us, and help express emotions as well as form bonds with others. How does your character’s facial difference change their ability to visibly emote and connect? Do they worry about being misjudged or misunderstood?

These are just a few questions to get you thinking about how your character’s facial difference impacts the rest of their life. Since facial difference is an extremely broad category, I’m not going to give specific advice here, but having a specific diagnosis in mind, and knowing how it affects your character, is key to an accurate and thoughtful portrayal.

If the answer to all of these things are “no,” and truly the only affect of your character’s facial difference is that they look different, I gently suggest you think about why that is.

Describing Facial Difference

This is really tough to give advice about both because facial difference is very broad, and because it can be an extremely sensitive subject for many. The best way I can think to advise is to imagine that a loved one of yours has the facial difference that you’re describing, and they’re reading your description of it. It may be tempting to use dramatic or striking words, but they can be stigmatizing and hurtful to readers.

As listed above, please try not to use words like deformed, disfigured, or defect/birth defect. Try not to use descriptors that focus on how strange, frightening, or shocking someone’s face is. It is possible to describe facial difference accurately without using harmful or othering language. Even if it is your character doing it - “That’s how they see themselves! That’s not how others see them.” That’s a cop out. Please be thoughtful.

It’s okay to describe facial difference, but try not to dwell on it in description. Paragraphs that render exactly how your character’s face is different from others focus on that difference at the exclusion of all other characteristics. Let me say it again: It is totally okay to describe facial difference! Spending longer than necessary/longer on this than any other thing is not great.

Don’t forget to describe their other features! Sure, they have a port wine stain across their cheek, and that’s relevant to how they look, but they also have a big gorgeous nose! Or thin lips that they’re always biting! Or freckles that only show up in the summer! You get it.

A facial difference might affect how you describe the motion or emotion shown on your character’s face. If they have facial paralysis, you probably can’t write your character smiling or frowning. If they have a skin condition, a blush may present differently on their cheeks. It’s okay to write about how a facial difference affects these things - remember to make the portrayal consistent.

It’s okay for characters to have feelings about their facial differences. It’s certainly accurate to real life. Having negative feelings about one’s facial differences does not mean that someone, or a character, is shallow or unenlightened. People can live happy, fulfilling lives and still not like the way their face looks. 

That being said: Let your characters have their feelings about their facial difference, but if that is something your character thinks about obsessively, consider why that has to be the case. Think carefully about the way your character talks to and about themselves and their facial difference.

Let your character love their face! Let your character feel completely neutral about their facial difference! Let them hate the way other people react, but not think about it at all in private! There are lots of emotions to explore besides “I’m different = I’m ugly = I hate myself and my face.”

Finally: What do you (and maybe your character) consider to be an “average” face? A beautiful face? Do these ideas line up with others around you/your character? How might dissonance with a broader population affect these ideas, or put your character in conflict with others? Are there people out there who may not have the same condition (if your character has a medical condition) but may share those facial features? What impact does that have on your character?

Etiquette

Facial difference should not be stared at, pointed at, called out, or commented on by respectful people in your story. Obviously, your character could experience bullying or harassment, and that’s fine to write about, but be aware that however innocently intentioned, these things are rude at best.

Neither you as the writer nor other characters should refer to someone by their facial difference. Neither person-first nor identity-first language is appropriate when referring to someone by their physical difference.

To clarify in case these terms are unfamiliar: “guy with the partial jaw” is no better than “partial jaw guy” in this situation.

People with visible or facial difference may have strong feelings or memories around mirrors, being photographed, or seeing photos of themselves. This could be from discomfort with their appearance, but it could also be from photos being taken without their consent, or because of a dissonance between how they look now and how they used to, or a dissonance between how they think they look and how they actually look. This is something that you should probably flesh out and think about when developing your character.

Other characters should not disclose this character’s diagnosis. It is, however, okay for others to give information about a character, especially if that information is relevant. For example:

“He has facial dysplasia so he doesn’t like going out.” = Not good. “Sometimes people make comments about how he looks and how he eats. We should check in before we make plans to eat out.” = Much better.

This next is a controversial one, and people should feel free to weigh in. I am giving this advice on the word of people that I personally know, but other people may feel differently, and I respect that.

Here goes: It is okay to give people a heads up about someone’s facial difference, in writing or in reality. People can have involuntary reactions that are really hurtful, whether they mean to or not, and knowing in advance can help to limit the impact on someone who probably gets a lot of negative attention from strangers already. How those heads up are given, and if/when they are felt to be necessary, is a choice to think very hard about. But it can be useful and even necessary, especially with young kids. Appropriate examples below.

“Hey, just so you know, my friend Suzie who we’re going to meet has a medical condition that makes their face look different.”

That’s it. That’s all it needs to be.

Rethink

Villains with facial difference. Do you think maybe we have enough villains with facial difference already? The different = ugly = evil moralistic writing trope is a little played out, no?

A subtrope of this is “someone acquires a facial difference and becomes a villain. Once again, morality being tied to how someone looks is just not great messaging.

Shallow or evil character acquires a facial difference and Learns A Lesson. Disability is not a lesson, nor is it a punishment for bad morals or bad behavior. Think about the beliefs and messaging that undergird this narrative.

Only enlightened characters can see beyond facial difference. The entirety of Wonder is basically this, and real people with facial difference are tired of seeing it. Being able to treat people with facial difference with respect and dignity does not make anyone a saint, nor should others reacting to facial difference be the primary purpose of your character with facial differences.

Love will save you. Love, however true and real, will not solve someone’s insecurities, traumas, or deep feelings about their facial difference. Being truly, deeply, genuinely loved, whether romantically or platonically or familial-ly, is a powerful beautiful thing, but not a cure-all.

“I don’t even see your facial difference!” This doesn’t always ring very true. “I don’t think about it,” “don’t notice it,” or even “don’t care about it” can work better, but “I’m so accepting I don’t even see it” is a bit over-the-top.

Resources

In a truly depressing turn of events, when I looked this up, hoping to find more positive representation, I was met only with discussions of villains with facial difference. So. Limited resource section, here.

Autobiography of a Face by Lucy Grealy was a bestseller when it first came out in 1994, and in my opinion, stands the test of time. It is an autobiography of a woman whose face is changed by surgery and chemotherapy through her experience of childhood cancer. It’s a nonfiction memoir that deals primarily with themes of illness and recovery, childhood, self-esteem, self-image, and the perceptions of others.

North of Beautiful by Justina Chen Headley is a young adult novel about a girl with a port wine stain, which primarily deals with young love, self-esteem, and self-image.

Avatar: the Last Airbender notably features Zuko, a burn survivor with facial scarring who starts the series as a villain but is redeemed by the end of the show, in ways that do not exploit his facial difference as fuel for moral decay or moral growth.

I am begging people to add media they know that has characters with facial difference because those three are literally the only positive examples I can come up with. Not to sound like Tr*mp but: Very sad!

Anyway, that is what I have for now, will likely rehash much of this (and more!) if I write up something about visible difference. Let me know if you have requests, feel free to ask me questions, and as always - Happy writing!

The Last Illuveterian - Part 7

CW: Panic attacks, PTSD, Self depreciation

I awoke with a start some time later, though, I’m not exactly sure how long. The water was still warm and clear. I was no longer covered in blood, and the floor was clean. I stood up and pulled the plug in the tub for the water to begin draining. I carefully peeled the soaked clothing off and wrapped myself in a warm towel which had been placed on the wall next to the tub.

Once I was sufficiently dry I went into the closet to get new clothes, leaving the other set in the tub to either dry off or vanish, it didn’t matter which occurred at that moment. From the closet I selected a pair of loose sweatpants, a baggy sweater, and a set of house shoes. 

The room seemed to swim around me, so I sat carefully on the carpet, leaning against the wall. I sat there for several minutes contemplating what I had done. I had just killed 6 people. The 6 people remaining that had caused all of my suffering. They were gone and I’d never have to deal with them again. I should have felt free, I didn’t. It didn’t feel like enough. There were hundreds. Thousands of people who thought, believed, acted, and caused harm exactly as those men did. Innocent people suffered at the hands of them. I suffered at their hands. And people continue to suffer. It wasn’t enough. 

Even though outwardly, I was calm, a powerful anger grew inside me as I continued to think about it. My reflection offered no emotion to my face. An energy coursed through me then, causing me to stand and make my way downstairs. I made my way over to the door that led to the woods. I gripped the handle and pulled open the door. As I peered through the endless shadowed forest the anger vanished, along with the calm. It confused me. That was the third time that had happened. And the first had been 9 years prior. I closed the door.

I went back upstairs through my room and into the library, sitting heavily into a seat at a table. 

“What is happening to me?” I asked aloud. I kept my gaze to the table, not even raising it when a book fell in front of me. I simply slid it over to me. The cover read “Colors and Personality Types”. There was a small piece of paper marking a page. I flipped to that section and the paper fell to the table.

The particular section I had flipped to was titled: Vitiligo types 1 and 2. Vitiligo? That was incredibly rare, and I knew for certain I hadn’t been born with it. As far I was aware previously, there was only “vitiligo”, and I had no idea there was one type. To be perfectly fair, I was very small, and all I knew is that some people had it. 

Vitiligo in our species is essentially a personality disorder, though there’s not really a diagnosis that humans have which would accurately describe it. It’s not usually anything bad. Most of the time if a person has more than one dominant personality type, the colors blend into their new colors. With vitiligo, they have two or more dominant personality traits, however they never interact or occur at the same time, meaning the colors stay separate. If you’re born with it, each color occupies 50% of your body and neither progresses further, as that is the maximum it can be. This is “Type 1” Evidently, there’s a “Type 2”. According to that book, type 2 vitiligo is when you develop it after trauma. This doesn’t mean it wasn’t always there, because it was. The secondary color just needs to be triggered by a significant event. Spots usually begin materializing in locations that are harder to see, meaning it’s more difficult to spot early. It then progresses over time until it reaches the maximum of 50%. The progression occurs each time an “episode” of that color is experienced, and the growth is determined by how long that episode lasts. Type 2 is apparently more dangerous, as suddenly a person becomes more and more unpredictable, and the secondary personality is usually one of more “self protecting” aspects. 

That is where I stopped reading. I dropped the book and ran back out into my bedroom and into the closet. 

“I need another mirror” I called out, staring at my reflection in the one. It expanded into another 4 mirrors, creating a half circle around me. I rolled up the right pant leg to the hip, what was left of that leg was clean. I did the same to the other side. The entire leg was good. I pulled off the sweater next. There was nothing on my one arm, and my chest and next showed nothing. Slowly, I turned at an angle. There, in the middle of my back immediately next to a scar, was a green spot, about the size of a quarter. I had vitiligo. My entire being began shaking and I fell to the floor. I felt ashamed. Like I was a failure. Blue and Green never blended. They were exact opposite personalities. It was the absolute worst combination to have. I threw the sweater back on quickly. I didn’t even want to think of its existence. I was curled up for several minutes in that panic attack before I fell. There was no heat from my body, but the floor gave way and all of a sudden I was on ornate obsidian flooring. The floor itself was warm, and the air around me had a dark ambiance.

As I sat up, I glanced at my new surroundings. The walls were a dark stone with gold accents. The room was lit with torches and candles, and the lighting was overall a red tone. There were a few tables in the room and several chairs. 

Dull clicks on the floor accompanied a tall woman walking in suddenly. I sat frozen on the floor. She was quite obviously taller than me by a good several inches. Curled horns stuck out from either side of her head and her hair fell in neat curls to her waist. Her skin was a dark gray and her eyes a shining orange. She was dressed in a long light purple dress, which had a slit up most of her leg. We stared at each other for several moments, and I’m sure my face mirrored the fear I felt. It felt like we were locked in that stare for eternity before she smiled and spoke.

“Hello, dear. I take it you didn’t expect to find yourself here?” She made her way to me, peering down. I couldn’t find the words to speak so I just shook my head. She continued, “Do you know where you are?” I shook my head again.

“This is Hell, my name is Lilith, and you’re currently residing in my castle. Here.” She knelt a bit and offered her hand. I took it and she helped me stand. I was still shaking and a bit wobbly on my feet. She placed a hand gently onto my shoulder to steady and I involuntarily flinched. I suppose it was the first genuine contact I had received that wasn’t accompanied with pain of some sort. This caught her off guard for a moment, but she smiled again and guided me over to a table, having me sit in one of the chairs. She sat opposite to me.

“What’s your name?” She prodded gently

“Raymond.” I answered, not daring to look her in her eyes.

“It is wonderful to meet you, Raymond.” She paused a moment before continuing “What are you, if I may ask, dear?” She lowered her head down to meet my gaze, and I shot straight up, my face flushing a deep blue.

“Ah! Sorry. I’m-- I’m Illuveterian.” I diverted my gaze again.

“Oh. Curious. I thought that’s what you were, however, I was under the impression that they went extinct a couple decades ago.” At that I slumped forward a bit. I hated thinking about the fact.

“Well, ah, I am the last one, as far as I’m aware. Everything I’ve read says I should be dead if I wasn’t completely alone.” I looked only at the floor. My face felt hot, and I was sure I’d start to break down if I looked any longer at her directly.

“Oh, I’m terribly sorry to hear that darling, It must be a dreadful experience. Aren’t you a touch bonding species? How long have you been on your own?” She put her left hand on mine across the table, not taking a moment to care that it was made of metal.

“19 years. And yeah. We, um, we are.” I pulled my legs closer to me, and gripped onto the fabric of my sweatpants, my hands both shaking. She sat in thought for several moments, the quietness of the air was uncomfortable.

“Wait here, I will be right back.” She stood quickly and rushed from the room. It became entirely silent within moments of her absence, the clacks of her shoes against the floor fading as she went. My own thoughts clouded my consciousness, and I felt tears burn down my cheeks.

I was so absorbed into my mind that I didn’t even notice when Lilith had returned. She gently placed her hand back on mine and I jumped. On the table now were two mugs with steam coming from them. I quickly wiped my face and looked up to her.

“I am not sure if alcohol has any effect on your species, however I do hope you enjoy it anyways.” She smiled, and lifted one of the mugs to her lips.

“What is it?” I asked, pulling the other mug towards me.

“It’s a bourbon hot chocolate. I find them quite comforting on rough days.” I looked at the mug in my hands and carefully lifted it. I wondered for a moment if maybe there was poison in it, before I quickly shook my head to be rid of the thought. Even on the off chance that it had been poisoned. That wouldn’t do anything. Regardless of the immortality.

The drink itself was incredible. It was very warm and comforting. The flavors all mixed really well, and a strong calm immediately washed over me. A heavy sigh escaped me as I finally felt relaxed. It didn’t occur to me that I hadn’t felt that in days or months even, until that moment. The air around me went from feeling tense to calm and inviting. The red glow that most things in the surrounding room had now felt warm. It was nice to look at. There had to be magic ingrained in the drink.

“Raymond?” Lilith drew me from my thoughts.

“Hm?” I hummed in response, mid sip.

“I do realize that this is our first time meeting. But I feel bad you’ve been on your own this long. And you’re still a child. I would like to offer you something.” There was no malice in her tone. It reminded me of my own mother’s voice.

“Offer me something?” I set the mug down, hesitant at the question. “Have you been living alone all those years?” She pressed. And I tensed again. “Ah, since I was 16. I spent about 14 months unconscious and healing at first, that’s when I got my prosthetics. Then I was with a couple for about a year. They tried to adopt me, and were killed because of it.” I paused for a moment, questioning if I should continue. I don’t know why I felt so open to tell her, “Then I… I was sent to Nuemann’s Asylum where I stayed for 8 years. Then I escaped at 16. I live in a pocket dimension now.” It felt like some weight had been lifted from my shoulders. It felt good to talk about it, and it certainly didn’t seem hard to trust Lilith. It was like talking to my own mom, easy to do. Though I wasn’t entirely sure why I was suddenly so willing to be open. Definitely magic in the hot chocolate.

“Well, dear, I have plenty of empty rooms sitting here in my castle, and nobody to use them. Despite human rumors I am not the mother of all monsters or demons. I only have 7 children, and though they live at home here, I have plenty of room. All but one are grown.” She then paused, as if pondering the best way to ask, “Who were your parents if I may ask?”

Of course she could ask. She was Lady Lilith, queen of Hell. I felt obligated to answer, though no anxiety followed, “My mother was Queen Adulia, and my father was Prince Signe.” That was the first time I had said their names aloud. I had read them in the records, but never put voice to them. It was odd not simply referring to them as ‘mom’ or ‘dad’.

“Given the current circumstances. Doesn’t that make you ‘King Raymond’?” I pondered the question. I had never put thought to it. I was the last in line for the throne, and was never supposed to receive it. I didn’t really want it, and  in my opinion, my eldest brother, Sage, was the best fit, though he wasn’t here any more. I had never received any formal training on royal duties, and with no kingdom to rule, I didn’t know what there even would be to do, or where I would begin.

“I suppose. In a technicality.” I paused, continuing to think, “I was never supposed to be King, and I don’t know how to be one.” I picked the mug back up and took a long sip.

“Well, I could certainly teach you how to do that. I think you’d get along quite well with the youngest of my boys. You’re pretty equivalent in Age. His name is Beleth. I would introduce you now, however he’s off doing training with his legions.” She noticed that I was focused primarily on the hot drink in my hands. “How would you feel about perhaps living here, in Hell? Maybe part time if you still wish to reside in your pocket dimension as well. It is entirely up to you, dear.” 

I thought about it for several moments. I barely knew Lilith, yet I felt as though I could trust her with anything. I took another sip and answered her, “Part time sounds nice.” She smiled, and stood, offering her hand again.

“Then let's get you a room picked out, Little King.” She pulled me to my led me down the hall, the half empty mugs left abandoned on the table. 

Each room was more magnificent than I had become accustomed to, though they certainly had a familiar feel. Lilith’s castle was far larger than the one my family used to reside in. Though, I suppose there is infinite room in hell for a castle of such size. The fact that I was walking around in a human afterlife hadn’t even fully registered yet. And it didn’t until several hours later. Eventually we came upon a room that she deemed as perfect. It’s not that I was being “picky” before that one. She just seemed absolutely determined to give me the best one in her mind. I wasn’t one to object.

The “perfect” room she had selected for me was very nice inside. There was a sizable fireplace on the back wall, a bed which appeared to be even bigger than my own, and several comfortable chairs. A couple of the walls contained floor to ceiling bookshelves, which sat empty for a few minutes until they slowly began filling. Each book just appearing from thin air.

“It knows what books you like, or what books you might like, and it’ll fill with those. As your taste changes, so will the shelves.” I spent several minutes looking through them, glancing over some titles. Some were even written in Illuveterian.

An ornate oaken door then appeared next to the bed, visually standing out quite a bit from the rest of the decor, being lighter in color. 

“That door is now connected to your pocket dimension, so you may come and go as you please. This is your home now as well, so you are welcome at any time.” At that statement she wrapped me in a tight hug. It definitely caught me off guard, but it wasn’t bad in any way. It was the first hug I had received in so many years, and I’m a little embarrassed to say that I melted into it quite a bit. She was warm and smelled of lavender. That hug lasted for several long moments before she let go. She cupped my cheek in her hand as she smiled. 

She motioned to the door that had appeared near the bed, “I would wager a guess that your pocket dimension has missed you. You’ve been here for some time now.” Time hadn’t even occurred to me at all, but she was right. From the time I had fallen to that moment it had been at the very least, a few hours, likely quite a bit more.

I nodded and made my way to the door, putting the knob when I reached it before then looking back at Lilith. “I’ll come back,” I promised. The time I had spent with her had made me feel significantly better than I did on my own.

“Whenever you wish,” She agreed, with a slight bow of her head. I turned my gaze back and made my way through the door. It was my living room. There were no lights on, causing everything to be shrouded in shadows. I could see that this new door was placed exactly opposite the door which leads into the human world, and right next to the doors which lead out to the void.

As soon as the door clicked shut behind me, the fireplace erupted in bright flames. The jukebox which I had placed under the landing of the stairs started playing loud music, and the lights all immediately came on. I will admit I was sufficiently startled, and nearly fell back against the door. After I had caught my balance I looked around at everything.

“Well, you’re certainly a bit more sentient than you let on, aren’t you? Did you miss me?” The fireplace once again lit up, tall flames reaching the top of the hearth, “I’ll take that as a ‘yes’.” The music from the jukebox stopped playing and the fire returned to normal. Something then occurred to me. “Do you have a name?” The fireplace shrunk to mere embers. 

“A ‘no’ then. Would you like one?” The fire grew once more to touch the hearth, bursts of static coming from the jukebox. The energetic reaction made me laugh. It was the first time I had honestly laughed since I had lived with the Millers, and it felt freeing in a way. Knowing that I felt better enough to the point where I even could. It was nice. Once I had calmed down, I sat on the couch.

“Well, let's pick you out a name. I need a notepad and pen, please.” Both objects appeared on the coffee table in front of me. I leaned forward and began jotting down some names. Just any off the top of my mind that sounded nice. Once I had filled the page, I sat back, holding the notepad and looking over the list. The first name caused me pause. I certainly didn’t remember writing it. ‘Sunni’ sat at the very top of the list. I quickly grabbed the pen and scribbled it out. I love my sister, and I love the memories of her. But the thought of giving the pocket dimension her name hurt too much. We would have shared the pocket dimension if she was still around. Just as we used to share a Soul Space. We were of the same magic so it would have been both of ours. I moved onto the next name.

“Okay, you give me a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on the names, okay?” The fire grew, “Great! Onyx?” The fire almost completely disappeared. “Alright, definitely not, then. Marlo?” Once again, fire was nearly gone, “Arbor?” No fire, not even embers. I skipped the similar names, landing on one about halfway down the page, “Evryn?” The fire sat neutral for a few moments, pondering. It then grew quickly to touch the top of the hearth. 

“That one? You sure? Do you want to hear any others?” It shrunk down to a dim glow, “No? That was a bit quicker of a process than I thought it’d be. Evryn it is, then.” I tore off the page and tossed it into the fire. It vanished quickly. I went up the stairs and fell promptly onto my bed, exhausted from the day’s events.

The photo on the right is not mine, but I wanted to show what it looked like when the dermatologist looked at my skin for my vitiligo diagnosis. This purple coloured light (called a woods lamp) is put up to your skin. If you have lost pigment, the areas shine bright white and the rest of your skin looks purple.

What Are the Best Options for Vitiligo Treatment in Mumbai?

Vitiligo treatment in Mumbai offers a variety of advanced options aimed at restoring skin pigmentation and managing the appearance of white patches. Mumbai is home to highly skilled dermatologists who specialize in vitiligo and provide individualized treatment plans based on the extent of the condition, skin type, and patient preferences.

Common treatments include topical therapies, such as corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors, which can help stimulate melanocyte activity in early-stage vitiligo. For more extensive cases, light-based therapies like Narrowband UVB phototherapy are popular, promoting repigmentation by exposing affected areas to controlled UV light. Additionally, procedures like excimer laser therapy offer targeted treatment for smaller patches, while surgical options, including skin grafts and cellular grafting, are effective for stable vitiligo cases.

Mumbai also offers holistic approaches, such as counseling and dietary recommendations, to help manage the psychological impact of vitiligo. With state-of-the-art facilities and comprehensive care, vitiligo treatment in Mumbai is equipped to address both the physical and emotional needs of individuals with this skin condition, improving their quality of life and confidence.

Vitiligo treatment in Mumbai typically involves four main stages:

Diagnosis and Assessment: Dermatologists evaluate the extent, type, and progression of vitiligo through physical exams and possibly a Wood's lamp test. This stage helps determine the best treatment plan tailored to the patient’s skin type and affected areas.

Topical Treatments: In early stages, topical creams like corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors are often used to slow the spread of depigmentation and encourage repigmentation in small, affected areas.

Phototherapy and Light-Based Treatments: For moderate to extensive vitiligo, Narrowband UVB phototherapy and excimer laser therapy are common. These therapies use targeted UV light to stimulate melanocyte cells and promote natural pigmentation over time.

Surgical Interventions: In stable cases, where vitiligo has not spread for a year or more, surgical options such as skin grafting or cellular grafting are considered. These techniques transfer pigmented skin or melanocyte cells to depigmented areas, helping restore skin color.

This multi-stage approach, tailored by Mumbai’s skilled dermatologists, provides comprehensive and personalized care to effectively manage vitiligo.

Dr. Deepam Shah at Viva Aesthetic Clinic recommends personalized precautions for vitiligo treatment, which may include using sun protection to prevent skin damage, avoiding skin trauma to reduce the spread of vitiligo patches, and following a prescribed regimen of topical treatments or phototherapy sessions. He also offers advanced procedures, such as excimer laser and skin grafting, tailored for each patient’s condition.

Finding the Best Treatment for Vitiligo: What You Need to Know

Understanding Vitiligo

It's a long-lasting skin condition that is autoimmune and characterized by the loss of color that causes spots of white skin. These spots or patches may appear everywhere on the body, including sensitive areas such as the lips. Although it isn't dangerous, vitiligo may affect the appearance of a person and self-esteem. Knowing the cause and the treatment options available, as well as ways to manage it through vitiligo treatment naturally, can help those affected by vitiligo make educated decisions regarding their health.

Who is at Risk for Vitiligo?

Vitiligo is a condition that affects any person, but certain conditions can increase the chance of getting the disease. Anyone with a history of vitiligo or an autoimmune disease, like the thyroid condition or Type 1 Diabetes, is at greater risk. It is believed that it is caused by a mix of environmental, genetic, and autoimmune triggers. It isn't a contagious disease, which means it can't be transmitted through contact or other types of contact. However, vitiligo disease treatment will help you manage or eliminate your spots or white patches.

The time of onset for vitiligo is generally unpredictable. It can start at any age. However, it is most common to see symptoms prior to the age of 30. Stress, emotional stress, skin injuries (from sunburns or cuts), or exposure to certain chemicals can cause or worsen the condition in some people.

How is Vitiligo Confirmed?

It is usually diagnosed using a combination of medical background, physical examination, and laboratory testing. Dermatologists can look at the skin using Wood's light, which is a specific type of ultraviolet light that can detect spots of depigmentation that are not obvious to the untrained eye. In certain cases, a skin biopsy may be performed to rule out other skin disorders. If you wish to reduce or control the symptoms, it is possible to adopt the vitiligo disease treatment at Bharat Homeopathy Hospital.

Tests for blood can be done to identify autoimmune conditions or thyroid issues that are frequently associated with Vitiligo. It is vital to identify the problem early in to determine the most efficient treatments. If the diagnosis is confirmed that the spot is white, treatment for white spot on skin may begin according to how severe the problem is and the impact it has on the patient.

Where Does Vitiligo Start?

Vitiligo may begin in various parts of the body. However, it is most often seen in areas that are exposed to the sun, like the hands, face, Vitiligo on lips, and arms. Lips-related vitiligo is common because the skin around these areas is more fragile and susceptible to loss of pigment. It could also start at the eye, in the nostrils or around the extremities such as fingers and toes.

In certain cases, the vitiligo disease can develop slowly and affect large areas of the skin in time. However, it is also possible to be confined to small areas. Vitiligo's spread can be in flux, and there is no way of knowing the speed or extent to which it can progress in any person.

Is Vitiligo Painful?

A common and commonly-held misconception regarding vitiligo is that it causes physical discomfort. It isn't a painful problem, and it generally does not cause discomfort or itching. However, people suffering from this condition might be more prone to sunburns due to the fact that the affected skin areas are deficient in melanin, the pigment that helps protect against UV radiation. If you are looking for an effective natural remedy, it is recommended that you select the best treatment for vitiligo. This is homeopathy.

Although vitiligo isn't painful, its psychological effects can be a significant one. The visible skin changes can cause anxiety, self-consciousness or depression, particularly when people have noticeable areas of depigmentation. So, treatment for vitiligo often involves not just dealing with the physical signs and symptoms but also providing emotional aid to help patients cope with the changes.

Vitiligo Treatment Options

There are numerous options for treatment for white spot on skin. Every person's reaction to treatment is different, and it is important to talk with a health specialist to determine the best treatment for vitiligo that fits your demands.

Vitiligo treatment naturally for those who want to control vitiligo. Naturally, there are many options to consider. Although there are a variety of remedies and cures for this condition, a few natural treatments can slow the progress and reduce visible white spots and areas on our bodies. This includes:

Herbal Remedies: Certain herbs like Ginkgo biloba and turmeric are believed to possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that could help to restore the skin's pigment.

Dietary changes: Foods that are rich in antioxidants, including vegetables and fruits, can aid in protecting the skin's cells against further destruction. In addition, making sure you get enough intake of vitamins such as B12, folic acid, and vitamin D could help support general skin health. The best treatment for vitiligo is homeopathy because it will reduce the severity of your condition and also have an effect that is natural and beneficial to the body.

Stress Management: Because emotional stress can cause or worsen the vitiligo condition, practices like yoga and exercise, meditation, and mindfulness can help manage stress levels and enhance overall well-being.

It's a huge issue that is affecting millions of people around the world. Although it's not physically a problem, its effects on self-esteem and mental well-being are significant. The treatment for spot-like white patches on your skin varies depending on the individual, and a combination of natural and medical methods can yield the most effective outcomes. Whether it's vitiligo medication or other natural treatments, sufferers of vitiligo have many choices to manage the condition and ensure good health.

Vitiligo: Types, Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment Options

Introduction: Vitiligo is a skin condition characterized by the loss of pigment, resulting in white patches on the skin. While it’s not life-threatening, vitiligo can significantly impact a person’s emotional and psychological well-being. This blog explores the types, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for vitiligo, offering insights for those affected by the condition.

What is Vitiligo?

Vitiligo is a chronic skin disorder where melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin pigmentation, are destroyed. This leads to the development of white patches on various parts of the body. The condition affects people of all skin types but is more noticeable in individuals with darker skin.

Types of Vitiligo:

Generalized Vitiligo: The most common form, where depigmented patches appear symmetrically on both sides of the body. Common areas include the face, neck, hands, and knees.

Segmental Vitiligo: This type affects only one side of the body or a specific area, often developing at a younger age and progressing for a few years before stabilizing.

Focal Vitiligo: Characterized by a few scattered white patches that do not follow a specific pattern and may not spread extensively.

Acrofacial Vitiligo: This type primarily affects the face, hands, and feet, with patches appearing around the mouth, eyes, and fingers.

Universal Vitiligo: A rare form where nearly all of the skin loses its pigment, covering over 80% of the body.

Causes of Vitiligo:

The exact cause of vitiligo is not fully understood, but several factors are believed to contribute:

Autoimmune Factors: The immune system mistakenly attacks melanocytes, leading to their destruction.

Genetics: Family history of vitiligo or other autoimmune diseases may increase the risk.

Environmental Triggers: Sunburn, stress, or exposure to certain chemicals can trigger or worsen the condition.

Neurogenic Factors: The release of harmful chemicals from nerve endings may also contribute to the destruction of melanocytes.

Oxidative Stress: An imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body may play a role in the development of vitiligo.

Symptoms of Vitiligo:

White Patches on the Skin: The primary symptom, these patches can appear on any part of the body, including the mucous membranes and retina.

Premature Graying of Hair: Hair on the scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, and beard may turn white early.

Color Loss in the Tissues Inside the Mouth and Nose: Some people experience depigmentation in the inner tissues.

Treatment Options for Vitiligo:

While there is no cure for vitiligo, several treatment options can help restore skin color or even out skin tone:

Topical Corticosteroids: These creams may help return color to white patches, especially if started early.

Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors: Useful in areas with thin skin, such as the face and neck, these creams help reduce inflammation and the immune response.

Phototherapy (Light Therapy): Narrowband UVB therapy is a common treatment that helps stimulate melanocyte production. It is often combined with topical treatments for better results.

Excimer Laser Therapy: This is a more targeted form of light therapy that focuses on specific areas, making it ideal for smaller patches.

Depigmentation Therapy: For those with extensive vitiligo, depigmentation of the remaining pigmented skin may be considered to achieve a more uniform appearance.

Surgical Options:

Skin Grafting: Involves transplanting small sections of normal, pigmented skin to areas affected by vitiligo.

Blister Grafting: Blisters are created on the pigmented skin, and the tops of these blisters are transplanted to depigmented areas.

Camouflage Therapy: Cosmetic products, such as skin dyes and makeup, can help cover up the white patches and provide emotional relief.

Psychological Support: Counseling or support groups can be beneficial for those struggling with the emotional impact of vitiligo.

Conclusion:

Living with vitiligo can be challenging, but understanding the condition and exploring available treatment options can help manage its effects. While there’s no definitive cure, ongoing research and advances in treatment continue to improve the quality of life for those with vitiligo. If you or someone you know is affected by this condition, consulting with a dermatologist to explore personalized treatment options is the first step toward managing vitiligo.
