We observe so many patients who have been suffering from
vitiligo more than 10 years. There can be multiple reasons of why they
are not cured but it reflects the overall nature of this disease. It can
prolong even for years and sometimes for while life. This chronic
behavior is a typical attribute of vitiligo. Normally due to
carelessness and lack of knowledge, people become sick from their
treatments and start compromising with their appearance. They spend
years with this condition with an illusion that vitiligo is a non
curable and getting result oriented vitiligo treatment is a nightmare.
Coming back to the point regarding its nature, vitiligo is for sure a
chronic skin disorder but it does not spread over from person to
person. Vitiligo is not contagious disease at all. However we often
observed that genetic inheritance is one of big reasons for its
transformation to the coming generations. But it is something different
from being infectious. Vitiligo patients can live a routine life just
like other people without any fear. Also other healthier society members
should not avoid vitiligo persons just because of white patches. Give
them respect and honor as unlikely behavior can make them more
sensitive.
Some major reasons why vitiligo appears can be categorized as:
- It is a skin disorder where pigmentation process of cells fails to perform its function. Physical weakness, deficiency of vitamins, poor immunity and many other reasons can be associated with this condition
- Over exposure under direct sunlight is another huge ground
- Skin dryness and environmental effects may also lead towards vitiligo
On the basis of all the research that has been conducted so far and
theories, it is an established consensus that vitiligo is not
contagious.
