Doctors’ responses
Based upon your description, you have the pigmented patches on the back of yourlower neck primarily on the right side with a few small spots crossing the midline As they have diagnosed it has a segmental vitiligo - that means which affects one side of the body and tend to stabilise once the spread slows down Start on Manjistha churna 1/2 tsp -0-0 with warm water Kayakalpa vati 1-0-1 Neem cap 1-0-1 Khadira aristha 10-0-10 ml with equal water Apply psorLeA oil on the depigmented patches
Avoid harsh soaps or strong chemicals on affected area Include fresh fruits nuts vegetables Avoid spicy sour fried processed foods Eat light Reduce stress Avoid virus ha ahara lik fruit with milk Avoid overuse of steroids Gentle sun exposure for melanin production but avoid sunburn early morning exposure is good
