Symptoms, Causes And Treatment For White Patches Posted By: bud10
When the cells that make pigment cease to function white patches begin to appear at different places on the body. These patches also appear inside the mouth and nose and on the scalp. The hair that grows on the infected area of the scalp turns white. Usually these white patches are first noticed in the summer and are more susceptible to sun burn because the protective pigment melanin isn't present. What are the Causes of White Patches on the Skin? There is some controversy as to the actual cause of Vitiligo, but it is believed by many experts that it is an auto-immune disorder which means the body attacks itself, destroying pigment producing cells. Other causes are anemia due to Vitamin B12 deficiency, an overactive thryroid, diabetes, illness caused by lack of cortosone in the body and low stomach acid resulting in poor absorption of nutrients. Stomach acid is depleted by ulcer medications, antacids and food allergies. Other possible triggers for Vitiligo may be a single event such as sunburn or stress. Watch out for many popular brand sunscreen lotions which are unhealthy for the skin.
