Vitiligo (Phulbehri): Causes, Care and Treatment in Pakistan
Vitiligo, known in Urdu as phulbehri or safed daagh, is a skin condition in which some areas of the skin lose their natural colour and turn white. It is not contagious, so it does not spread by touch, sharing food or living together. Many people in Pakistan live with vitiligo, and with the right care the patches can be managed.
What are the signs of vitiligo?
Milky white patches on the face, hands, feet, lips or around the eyes
Patches that slowly get bigger or new patches that appear
White hair in the eyebrows, eyelashes or beard in the affected area
Patches that burn easily in the sun
Why does vitiligo happen?
The exact cause is not fully known. Doctors link it to:
The immune system attacking the skin's colour cells (melanocytes)
Family history: it can run in families
Stress, a skin injury or a bad sunburn, which can trigger new patches
Other conditions such as thyroid problems
How to care for your skin at home
Protect the patches from strong sun: use sunscreen (SPF 30 or more) and cover the skin when you go out
Avoid cuts, scratches and tight clothes that rub the skin
Eat a balanced diet with fruits, green vegetables and enough water
Manage stress: good sleep and light exercise help
Be patient and regular: skin colour comes back slowly, often over weeks to months
