Differential Diagnosis
• Post inflammatory hypopigmentation,
• Pie baldism (a rare autosomal dominant disorder in which depigmented
patches surrounded by hyper pigmented areas occur most often on the
forehead, neck, anterior trunk, and mid-extremities),
• Morphea (localized scleroderma, in which skin is usually sclerotic),
• Lichen sclerosis
• Pityriasis alba,
• Chemical leukoderma
Discussion
Shwitra
• Shwitra is mention under Kushta Roga Chikitsa chapter, where white patches
appear on the whole body or a local region.
• Skin covers all over the body as covering, Bhrajaka Pitta is placed in skin which is
responsible for Chhaya and Prabha of skin. An imbalance in those may cause skin
diseases.
• Shwitra differs from other skin disorders by the normal functioning of all but the
skin tissue (twak) resulting in discoloration of the skin (twak vaivarnyata), without
discharge (aparisarav stravi).
• In Shwitra morbidity is located in Medhodhatu. Depending on the colour and
Ashraya in Dhatus 3 types of Shwitra are mentioned i.e., if located in Rakta
(blood) it is red in colour, if in Mamsa (muscle tissue) it is of coppery colour, and if
located in Medas it is white in colour.
Vitiligo
• Due to similarity in the manifestation of the disease this can be co-related to
Vitiligo. Vitiligo is an acquired condition affecting 1% of the population
worldwide.
• Focal loss of melanocytes results in the development of patches of
hypopigmentation. It is thought to be the result of cell mediated autoimmune
destruction of melanocytes.
• Generalized vitiligo is often symmetrical and involves hands, wrist, feet, knees
and neck, as well as areas around body orifices.
• Segmental vitiligo is restricted to one part of the body but not necessarily a
dermatome. The patches of depigmentation are sharply defined.
