I am looking for a cure for vitiligo.
I found this homeopathic product called Leucotin.
http://www.leucotin.com/
Echinacia D4 + 40C Ars Suf Flav D10 + 100C Chaulmoogra D10 + 100C Hydrocotyle D2 + 20C Psoralia D1 + 10C I am not sure what this means or what the ingredients are and if it really works.
Has anyone had any experience with this product? I just don't want to waste my time and money.

Vitiligo can be cured by homoeopathic treatment. Prolonged treatment is needed. About combination above stated, I don't know. Homoeopathic treatment is based on individual peculiarities.

My 4 year old son has segmental vit on his face for the past 11 months. We started treatment with Dr.Rajesh shah who prescribed him Hydrocotyle and later with another doctor in India. Currently he is taking the following 4 times/day

Hydrocotyle 20 drops
Nat Mur
ASF

(Sepia / Acid Nit ) alternate sundays.

In addition to this, the Dr prescribed 'Patoladhi kashayam' & ' Parangi Rasayanam' recently.

Are these safe for a 4 year old?

So far no improvements, condition only worsening.

mxr,
You have mentioned that:[(Currently he is taking the following 4 times/day
Hydrocotyle 20 drops
Nat Mur
ASF
(Sepia / Acid Nit ) alternate sundays.)These are Homoeopathic Remedies.

In addition to this, the Dr prescribed 'Patoladhi kashayam' & ' Parangi Rasayanam' recently. ]
But 'Patoladi Kashayam' and 'Parangi Rasayanam",I think Ayurvedic Medicines.
I don't think this is the prescription of a Homeopath.
If you are using both the medicines you are only complecating the disease.Its better to follow one system.

I think homeopathic remedies are more safe for 4 yr old child,and there is hope to get better with homeopathic medicines.

mxr,
Agree with drskp.
Vitiligo can be cured if treated on proper homoeopathic way. From above description it seems to be deviated from the right path. Your child is only 4 years and complicated medicine will only complicate the case.

Thanks for your replies. I haven't started giving him the 'Patoladhi kashayam' & ' Parangi Rasayanam'. From what i read , one is Ayurvedic and the other one is siddha. When I asked another Dr in India for second opinion, that's what the Dr also said. Because of the child's age I am very concerned to try these. I have been giving him the homeo medicines for the past 6 months, so far it is only spreading, I am not sure whether to continue homeo or to go with the steroid option.

Hydrocotyle 20 drops
Nat Mur
ASF
(Sepia / Acid Nit

Are these safe if taken for a long period of time? especially for a four-year old?

What is the success rate in Homeo for the treatment of Segmental Vitiligo on the face? I read that SV is different from other types of vits in that it is not related to genetic /Immune system etc. Any thoughts on this?

Segmental/unilateral
Segmental vitiligo often presents in childhood and occurs in a dermatomal, asymmetric distribution with one or more macules localised to one area of the body. It is rarely associated with autoimmune disorders .
Focal
Focal vitiligo describes one or more depigmented patches localised in a discrete area with a non-dermatomal distribution.
Symmetrical/bilateral
This is the most common type of vitiligo and is often referred to as generalised. It is characterised by a bilateral, symmetrical depigmentation with a widespread distribution of many macules in a random pattern. Many parts of the body can be affected, including the face (particularly periorificial areas), the neck, torso, hands and legs. A later age of onset is normal for this clinical subclass and it is associated more often with autoimmunity.

Acrofacial
VVitiligo of this type is characterised by depigmentation of the distal fingers and facial orifices - the latter in a circumferential pattern. It often forms with symmetrical vitiligo.
Universal
This type of vitiligo is characterised by the loss of pigmentation over the entire body, but is rare.
Inflammatory
Cases of inflammatory vitiligo are rare, but are characterised by pruritus (itching) and erythema (reddening of the skin) at the periphery of active, depigmenting lesions.
Trichrome
In trichrome vitiligo, the lesions have a complex outline and, as they progress, fuse with neighbouring macules to form a complex pattern. Within each lesion, the loss of pigment might be partial or complete, or there can be both partial and complete depigmentation in the same area.


Success rate of Homeopathic treatment is higher then any other system.

Homoeopathic treatment is safe when it is administrating in homoeopathic way. Mere using of homoeopathic medicine non individually ,merely on disease name, or as combination, cannot be called homoeopathic and no one know how the combinations work upon our system.

Segmental vitiligo can be cured faster than bilateral.
