(Newswire.net — April 10, 2017) Orlando, FL — In Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine, turmeric has been used for thousands of years in fighting a myriad of diseases and disorders. It has maintained its popularity through ages due to the number of healing agents it contains.

Turmeric could be a potentially effective natural remedy against rare skin diseases. One of these diseases is vitiligo or Leucoderma, which is often characterized by the appearance of white spots and patches.

The white spot or patch is called Leucoderma, and it is called vitiligo when it develops without any preceding disease. The term leucoderma literally means white skin, and it is often mistaken for leprosy and other skin diseases.

This skin condition usually causes parts of the skin to lose color gradually, which leaves white patches. One of the causes of this condition is the loss of melanin, which is a dark pigment that provides the skin with its color.

Normally the condition develops by the appearance of a small patch. The patch then slowly, gradually spreads throughout the body. While its appearance can be quite embarrassing, it is not considered a contagious skin disease.

The cause of the condition still remains unknown. However, there are many studies conducted to investigate its causes. There are factors believed to trigger the development of the condition, such as worms, hereditary factors, emotional stress, and sunburns.

There are also diseases that could aggravate this particular skin condition, such as diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism, Addison’s disease, and pernicious anemia.

Individuals who suffer from this condition are advised to avoid using hard soaps while bathing. They should also keep themselves from being stressed out and instead try to relax.

There are oral or topical forms of treatment, such as antifungal creams, shampoos, and ointments. However, for individuals who want to use natural remedies, turmeric is an excellent option.
