Leucoderma (Paperback)  | Released: 2007

Inspite of tremendous amount of research in the field of leucoderma (vitiligo) during the last few decades, most of the patients and general public still consider that leucoderma is an incurable disease. This is probably due to lack of knowledge and paucity of literature available to general public specially to patients. This book describes the different ways of presentation of leucoderma at different places of body with details of different treatments available for treating the disease. Written in a simple language with lots of photographs taken by the author himself. The expected natural course and etiopathogenic mechanism for development of leucoderma has also been described in detail. The book has been divided into 12 chapters. The book will undoubtedly serve the educational need of all those who wish to know about leucoderma specially the general public and the patients suffering from leucoderma/vitiligo. It may also be useful to practicing dermatologists, physicians and postgraduate students.Table of Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Normal Color of the Skin and its Formation 3. Causes of Vitiligo 4.
