TREATMENT:
Early stages of leucoderma is curable in a very short period and Chronic patients need a longperiod of treatment according to their severity. It can be completely cured within 2 to 3 months of treatment in early cases and even 6 months to 1 year in chronic cases .
MY CLINICAL EXPERIENCE:
- In the above picture,you all seen a patient ,he is about 19 yrs old, The patient consulted me with leucoderma in terror. I explained him that it is in early stage and advised to take treatment just for 20 days and closely observed the response. After 21 days he developed black spots over the patches.He was very much satisfied and continued the treatment for 3 months . The patch become it’s original colour.He was very much excited and was very happy.
In my clinical experience,I have seen such a lot of cases in early stage. They are all completely recovered with in 2to 3 months treatment. I am sure that early stage of Leucoderma is 100% curable.
