Researcher from Lady Hardinge Medical College and Associated Hospitals Describes Findings in Vitiligo (Medical management of vitiligo: a narrative review).

A recent study conducted by researchers from Lady Hardinge Medical College and Associated Hospitals in New Delhi, India, explores the medical management of vitiligo, a chronic cutaneous disease characterized by depigmented macular lesions. The study highlights the genetic predisposition, autoimmune mechanisms, and oxidative stress as contributing factors to the loss of functional melanocytes in vitiligo. The researchers emphasize the need for combination therapies that target the autoimmune nature of the disease, activate melanocytes, and reduce oxidative stress. The study also discusses conventional and newer medical treatment options for different clinical types of vitiligo. [Extracted from the article]
