Vitiligo on Thighs, Knees, Legs, Feet, and Toes
Skin is the largest organ in the body. Vitiligo is one of the most common skin diseases affecting over 2% world population and 8% of Indians.
Vitiligo affection on the skin of legs, thighs, legs, knees, feet, and toes is common.
Scattered and small patches on these parts are relatively easy to treat. Large patches of vitiligo are always difficult to treat. Those affecting bony areas such as knees, ankles are difficult to re-pigment.
If one has vitiligo on both sides of legs, knees, ankles, feet, or toes; it is difficult to cure them. Vitiligo on toes on both sides is better controlled than cured.
If one has vitiligo on shins on both sides, it is difficult to bring color. Especially, if you find the gray hair on those vitiligo spots, it may not be possible to bring color and retain it.
If one has vitiligo on the tips of the toes (and fingertips), in the early stage, one should work on keeping this variety under control.
