Vitiligo

Now in  today's blog we are going to see about Vitiligo which is another rare kind of skin disease. 

Vitiligo is the condition where white patches of skin appear on different parts of the body.This happens because the cells that make pigment in the skin are destroyed.These cells are called melanocytes. Vitiligo can also affect mucous membranes (such as tissue inside the mouth and nose and eye). Some researcher says that it may be an autoimmune disease.  These disease occus when your immune system mistakenly attacks some parts of your own body. Many people develop it at their twenties but it is not that much true it may occur at any age. Mostly it develops in people having autoimmune disease (like hypothyroidism).

Symptoms mostly found are white patches on skin,the armpits & groin(where the leg meets the body), around the mouth,eyes nostrils, navel,genitals, rectal areas.Those with dark skin may notice a loss of colour inside their mouth.

For such kind of condition doctors may advice for biopsy or blood test.

Treatment for skin is not fix. mostly sunscreens are prefer where lighter patches of skin are especially sensitive to sunlight and  they can burn easily.A dermatologist can advise on suitable type of sunscreen.

dermatologist may go for phototherapy with UVB and UVA light or they do skin camouflage.

Calcipotriene which is form of Vitamin D  used as topical ointment.Skin grafting can also be done. Afamelanotide andd tofacitinib citrate also given for  treament.

So the preson who are suffering from vitiligo  is same as that of normal person do not neglect them because vitiligo  can be treated.

 

Rare Skin Disease Part 1

Hello guys, in the beginning of my  posts we are going to know about some rare skin diseases which we can prevent easily by taking care of our skin and treating it as one of the most important body organ....It is very much essential for every human being that how our skin get damaged or how it changes our personality....so lets starts with first disease i.e., Morgellons Disease.

Morgellons Disease is a mysterious skin condition specially occurs in middle aged white women.
It is consider as delusional disorder. Due to this one can belief that parasite or foreign material or thread like structure moving in or coming out of our skin.Some researchers associate it with Lyme disease.Morgellons Disease is having non specific skin,nerve and psychiatric symptoms.

Symptoms:

1. Skin rashes or sore which causes high intensity itching

2. some may eel burning sensation under the skin

3. or may feel something is crawling under the skin.

Some practitioners reported that they have observed the fibres coming out of skin off morgellons disease patients and so that this condition is also associated with Scabies.Due to uncertainity of cause patient may suffer from depression.

So, looking at such conditions it is advisable that if any person is having same kind of feeling please contact their physicians.Doctors may prefer skin biopsy or may prefer treating ticks like this.Because Centers for disease control note that signs and symptoms of morgellons disease are very similar to those of mental illness involving false belief about infestation by parasites.

For these reasons I will suggest you to please take care of your skin,  be open minded while discussing it with doctors, and be patient .
