Abstract

Leukoderma, also known as Vitiligo, is a skin disease that causes hypopigmented spots. When the melanocytes that generate colour in the skin are destroyed disease occurs this happens. The degree and rate of colour loss caused by vitiligo are unpredictable. It affects persons of all skin tones, however, those with darker complexion are more likely to be affected. It can harm the skin on any part of your body. Hair, the interior of the mouth, and even the eyes are all susceptible to infection. In Ayurvedic literature, leucoderma is known as shwitra and is referred to as Shweta Kushtha. The two subcategories are Kilas and Varuna, which differ in skin colour. An imbalance in the Vata and Bhrajaka pitta can lead to skin problems.
