Leucoderma Surgeries
Leucoderma (vitiligo) or white skin disease
as it’s commonly known is a condition of the skin wherein there is a gradual
loss of the pigment called melanin, from the skin layers, resulting in the
appearance of white patches. The cause of leucoderma is unknown, but
research suggests that it may arise from autoimmune, genetic, oxidative
stress, neural, or viral causes. Leucoderma can affect people of any age and
sex and can be seen on any kind of skin. Contrary to the popular belief, the
disease is neither infectious nor contagious and is not caused due to any
germs or impure blood.
Leucoderma is a growing skin disorder nowadays which does not have any
specific physical harm to the person suffering, but has a deep impact on the
social life of the person. People having leucoderma on the visible areas of
their body feel embarrassed while appearing in their social circles. Long
term sufferers are more prone to fall prey to depression, anxiety and
feelings of low self esteem. Many are constantly on the watch as to how the
opposite person will react to their looks. Thus, it has significant negative
effects on the self-image of a person, his quality of life and self esteem.
What is the surgical procedure undertaken for curing leucoderma?
About CO2 Laser Surgery: This type of surgery
prescribes for those in whom leucoderma patches do not respond to medical
treatment but are stable in size for at least a year. These can be removed
surgically. In this operation, the superficial skin (epidermis) of the
leucoderma patch is removed by CO2 Laser.
A very thin layer of normal pigmented skin of the patient is obtained and is
implanted on this abraded leucoderma patch. Special dressings are put on
this patch, which are to be removed after ten to twelve days. One can get
rid of leucoderma patch by this operation in a short span of time at a very
affordable cost. In most of the cases hospital stay is not needed.
For Mucous Membrane areas like lips and genitilia only CO2 abrasion is
enough, skin grafting is not necessary.
