Leucoderma is a skin disorder causing white patches on the skin, what many do
not know is whether it is hereditary or not. This article provides some
information on the same.
Another probable cause for vitiligo is hereditary, i.e. it is sometimes passes down through generations. Basically if one or both parents have it, their children may have a fraction of a higher risk than the other children. Though even normal people are at a risk of having this condition despite no family history, the chances of developing it are a bit more in people who have parents or grandparents affected by it. In cases where this skin condition is hereditary, there are less chances that it would get completely cured. However, homeopathy treatment and some home remedies for the cure like use of psoralea seeds and red clay in ginger water, or goosefoot, turmeric powder, etc., are believed to help prevent the disorder from spreading and in regaining the normal skin pigmentation.
Another matter of consideration is that quite often people mistake temporary white patches on the skin for leucoderma symptoms that disappear in a week or so. Hence, before considering such patches to be associated with this skin problem, do consult a dermatologist to ascertain the condition and then prescribe the necessary treatment.
On a conclusive note, we can say that genetics does play some role in vitiligo, though its role is very minor. Hence, hereditary cannot be the only factor that may trigger the chances of having this skin condition as there are many other factors that may contribute to the same. However, in order to reduce the risks of having this skin disorder, one should make healthy dietary changes by avoiding too much of tea, coffee, alcoholic beverages, all condiments, and highly-flavored dishes, sugar, white-flour products, denatured cereals like polished rice and pearled barley, and tinned or bottled foods. And also one should eat a balanced diet containing seeds, nuts, grains, vegetables, and fruits to live and stay healthy in the long run.
