VITILIGO


It is a skin condition where skin loses its color. We get our skin color from chemical ie melanin released from skin cells. When these skin cells are destroyed by body’s immune system, skin loses its color. It starts as a white patch over the body which gradually spreads over the body in the course of time.

Usually it begins on hands, feet, and face but can develop on any part of the body.

TYPES

A. Segmental –Also known as unilateral vitiligo. The white patches affect one area of the body. It usually occurs in young age.
B. Non-Segmental – The patches appear on both sides of body as symmetrical patches – like on both hands, around both eyes, elbows, knees etc. This is more common type.
This type is further divided into :-
1. Generalized – Most common type in which patches appear on any part of the body.
2. Acrofacial – Patches appear on toes, fingers, and hands.
3. Mucosal – In this, patches occur around mucous membranes of the genitals and/or lips.
4. Universal – It spreads to almost every part of the body.
5. Focal – Patches appear in a small area and don’t spread in certain manner.

Causes

A. Autoimmune – Body’s immune systems is wrongly attacking the body’s own melanocytes and destroying it. Non-segmental type is thought to be due to this reason.
B. Genetic – some of the genes are associated with increased risk at developing vitiligo. Family history of same disease or other auto-immune conditions can be a contributing factor for this disease.
C. Neurogenic – Segmental type is thought to be caused by poisonous chemicals released from nerve endings.
D. Drug induced – Exposure to some drugs can cause this.
E. Trigger event – such as stress, sunburn, skin trauma. These stresses provoke inflammation leading the immune system to identify melanocytes as foreign and attack them.

Treatment

Few treatment modalities are available to restore some color which are :-

1. Repigmentation with steroids, Vit D analogue etc. These help in restoring the skin color.
2. Topical immunomodulators -Calcineurin inhibitors might be effective in small lesions.
3. Phototherapy with narrow band ultraviolet B rays combined with plant based substance called psoralen might help to return color in light patches.
4. Camouflage therapy with sunscreen and makeups.

These treatments can help in restoring color but cannot help in stopping the body tendency to spread.

AS homoeopathy mainly deals with immune system, it can REVERSE the autoimmunity and provide PERMANENT CURE. It helps in correcting the flaws of immunity and then stimulates the damaged melanocytes to recover to normalcy. This is how it gives permanent cure from this disease causing social stigma.

Plantar Warts

Plantar warts are benign epithelial tumors generally caused by infection by human papillomavirus types but have also been caused by types.

The virus attacks compromised skin through direct contact, possibly entering through tiny cuts and abrasions After infection, warts may not become visible for several weeks or months. Because of pressure on the sole of the foot or finger, the wart is pushed inward and a layer of hard skin may form over the wart. A plantar wart can be painful if left untreated.*

CAUSES

There are various conditions which leads to gangrene like DIABETES, ARTHEROSCLEROSIS, PHERIPHERAL ARTERIAL DISEASE, SMOKING , TRAUMA / INJURY , OBESITY , REYNAUDS PHENAMENON, WEAKNES IMMUNE SYSTEM etc ..

TYPES

1. DRY GANGRENE

In this type tissue dries up and turn into brown to purplish-blue to black in color and often fallen off. It affect Mostly hand and feet and more common in people with blood vessel disease , diabetes and autoimmune diseases..

2. WET GANGRENE  

Gangrene referred as ‘WET’ if there is bacterial infection in the affected tissue leading to swelling ,blistering and wet appearance . Injury from trauma or burn leads to wet gangrene.

3. GAS GANGRENE

This is most commonly caused by infection with the BACTERIUM CLOSTRIDIUM PERFRINGENS (BCP). when injured wound or surgical wound get infected with BCP produces toxins that releases gas causing tissue death hence name is “Gas” Gangrene .

4. INTERNAL GANGRENE

Gangrene developing in internal organ such as intestine , appendix, gall bladder is called Internal Gangrene.

5. FOURNIER’S GANGRENE

This gangrene develop mainly in the genital area in both male and female.

6. PROGRESSIVE BACTERIAL SYNERGISTIC GANGRENE (MELENEY’S GANGRENE)

This rare type of gangrene develop 2-3 weeks after operation.

TREATMENT AVAILABLE

Surgery to remove the infected part, antibiotic to reduce infection and hyperbaric Oxygen therapy to increase oxygen supply to affected part are few treatment available.

Occurs mainly in the folds of skin like groin , arm pit , under breast seen as smooth red patch worsen from friction and sweating.

7. PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS

In psoriatic arthritis there is swelling and pain of joints with psoriatic skin lesions. It can cause stiffness and deformities of joints if not treated well .

CAUSES

There are 2 key factors which play important role in psoriasis –

1.Immune system

2. Genetics

1.IMMUNE SYSTEM

Psoriasis is an Autoimmune condition. Autoimmune conditions are the result of body attacking itself . In case of psoriasis white blood cells known as T cells mistakenly attack the skin cell. This mistaken attack cause the skin cell production process to go into overdrive. The speed up skin cell production causes new skin cell to develop too quickly, they are pushed to skin surface where they pile up. This result in the plaques , redness and inflammation of skin surface i.e. PSORIASIS.

2. GENETICS

Some people inherit gene that make them more likely to develop psoriasis. However the percentage of people who have psoriasis and genetic predisposition is very small ( approx 2-3 % ).

TREATMENT AVAILABLE

Available treatment aims mainly to reduce skin from growing so quickly as no actual cure is available. Following are few treatment .

1. TOPICAL TREATMENT

2. LIGHT THERAPY

This treatment uses natural or artificial Ultraviolet light .

3. SYSTEMIC MEDICATION

This treatment uses oral or injectable medications containing Retinoids , methotrexate, cyclosporine which decreases the cell growth and various drugs which alter the immune system.

Psoriasis – is a chronic skin condition in which skin cells build up rapidly on the surface of the skin forming scales and redness that are itchy and painful… It is caused by overactive immune system. It is thought to be a genetic disease that is triggered by factors like infection or psychological stress.
