Vitiligo is a disease produced by a lack of pigment in the skin in certain parts of the body. It is not contagious. There is another similar disease which is called “mal del pinto” and occurs only 2% or 3% of the cases due to an infection. It exists in the southern part of Mexico.
Vitiligo symptoms are:

  • Presence of the small white spots which grow little by little. The areas where they first appearre:
  • abdomen
  • armpits
  • hands
  • neck; however, they may invade the whole body.
    Causes are not known but it is very probable that they have a psychosomatic or nevous origin.
    The suggested treatment is:
    To keep stress under controll. Take royal jelly for your nerves and apply sunscreen to the white areas that are exposed to the sun.
