Dr. Aggarwal recommended a combined approach for Neha, incorporating topical corticosteroids, and PUVASOL therapy.
Faridabad (Haryana) [India], September 21: Vitiligo, an autoimmune disorder characterized by the loss of skin pigmentation, continues to affect approximately 1-2% of the global population, with over 70 million people worldwide currently suffering from the condition. In India, where darker skin tones are more common, the visual contrast of vitiligo patches often leads to significant psychological and emotional challenges, especially as the condition disproportionately affects patients under 35 years old. Dr. Archit Aggarwal has dedicated much of his practice at KDC Clinic to addressing skin pigmentation issues with modern and effective solutions. This case highlights one such success story, showcasing Dr. Aggarwal’s expertise in treating vitiligo.
Mrs. Neha Kumar, a 28-year-old woman from Faridabad, presented to KDC Clinic with vitiligo patches on her face and hands. She had first noticed small, depigmented spots on her left cheek four years ago, which gradually spread to her forehead and hands over the next two years. The white patches were significantly affecting her confidence, leading to anxiety and social withdrawal.
Upon her consultation with Dr. Archit Aggarwal, Neha expressed her frustration with various treatments she had tried, including topical creams and oral medication, which yielded minimal results. Dr. Aggarwal, a renowned dermatologist in Faridabad, performed a thorough evaluation and diagnosed her with generalized vitiligo. He explained that while vitiligo is a chronic condition with no definitive cure, modern treatments can help manage the spread of depigmentation and even restore pigmentation in affected areas.
Dr. Aggarwal recommended a combined approach for Neha, incorporating topical corticosteroids, and PUVASOL therapy. The phototherapy sessions stimulated melanocyte activity, promoting repigmentation. PUVASOL, which involves the application of psoralen followed by controlled exposure to sunlight, was also introduced to enhance the effects of phototherapy. Additionally, Neha underwent suction blister grafting on the larger, more stable patches of vitiligo on her hands. Dr. Aggarwal carefully explained the grafting procedure, where healthy skin from an unaffected area was used to create blisters, which were then grafted onto the depigmented patches to encourage repigmentation.
After four months of consistent treatment, Neha began to notice a remarkable improvement. The white patches on her hands and face started showing signs of repigmentation, especially in the areas treated with grafting. Her skin tone became more even, and the contrast between normal and depigmented skin significantly reduced. With continued phototherapy sessions, the patches on her hands and face continued to fade.
At her six-month follow-up, Dr. Aggarwal noted substantial progress. Neha’s confidence improved dramatically, allowing her to return to work and engage socially without the anxiety she once felt about her appearance. While vitiligo is a long-term condition requiring ongoing management, Neha’s case demonstrates how modern vitiligo treatment can successfully restore skin pigmentation and improve the quality of life for patients.
Ms. Vishala Goyal, the co-founder of ClinicSpots, a prominent doctor discovery platform, shared her thoughts on Dr. Archit Aggarwal’s approach: “I have personally witnessed Dr. Aggarwal’s dedication to revolutionizing vitiligo treatment in Faridabad. His commitment to providing advanced skincare solutions has not only improved the physical appearance of his patients but has also boosted their confidence. Working closely with his clinic, we’ve helped raise awareness about the effective treatment options available for vitiligo, making a real difference in the lives of those seeking repigmentation.”
