This reaserch is conducted by the scientists of the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) and I get information about it familiar Indian social news site Timesofindia’s Health & Science section.

How chickpeas treat vitiligo in this regard research says:
“Amino acids found in chickpeas promote synthesis of melanin (skin pigment) formation cells, regenerates the pigment cells and help in treating the chronic skin disorder,”

An study about skin condition vitiligo shows that white spots on skin of vitiligo occurs due to the lack of melanocytes skin cells in that area of skin. although this real causes that why such loss or destruction of melanocytes occurs in body are not completely known. But it is clear that there are not melanocytes in vitiligo affected areas.
Vitiligo is fairly chronic skin condition and normally it is considered as tricky condition and which treatment may take a log period. According to this report and ointment made by chickpeas applied on various vitiligo patients. And with a very short period of time about 3 to 12 weeks patients get pigmentation again in vitiligo spots.
I never saw such rapid re-pigmentation of vitiligo spots before this. This is really miraculous thing regarding vitiligo treatment.

Fake Vitiligo Remedies


Vitiligo also known as leucoderma is a skin disorder that is usually distinguished by milky white patches that appear on any part of the body. This skin disorder mainly affects the areas of the skin that are more often exposed to sunlight but can appear on any part of the body. These white patches appear due to destruction of melanocytes that are responsible for the production of melanin (pigment that gives color to the skin). The actual causes of vitiligo are not completely known and are still to be explored. Even its complete cure has not been discovered yet.
If you have vitiligo and are looking for a cure then I’ll suggest you that do not waste your time in searching for vitiligo cure because no cure for vitiligo has been discovered yet. If you have found a product that claims cure then you might have gone astray because some fraudulent people are selling fake vitiligo remedies. These products claim hundred percent cure and even money back guarantee but their claims are false. These people develop a fake company and keep changing its name to be on safer side and to trap more and more people. They create fake testimonials and display edited images on their websites.
I’ll suggest you to look out for re-pigmentation treatments or cosmetic camouflages. These treatments only help in re-pigmentation and do not treat the underlying cause. If you have these patches are present on the area that is not cosmetically important then you can forego the treatment.

Fighting the Social Stigma

Even after millions of years of evolution and a long history of gradual refinement, we still stand at the brink of disintegration every time something alien strikes upon us. The society, as well call it limits us in measures that we fail to notice once we learn to conform to the norms. Although we standing in the 21st century with monumental progression made in robotics and milestone achieved in cloning with astronauts surfing the space looking for other planet residents, our society cannot accept something simple as a difference. Today Vitiligo patients are socially outcaste just as people affected by AIDS because we still fail to live with something that is an exception from the norm.

A Little Self-Help
Stigma

Even decorated musicians, sports persons, actors, comedians, etc. have suffered the stigma and alienation from the society just because of a dermatological condition that is not even contagious. In tribal communities, members of the tribe can even be ostracized for being diseased with Vitilligo.
If you have suffered from Vitilligo and all the ridiculous consequences that the society has cast upon you, then you need to have a constructive approach.
  1. Firstly know that it can happen to anybody,
  2. And secondly, it is not embarrassing because it is only a medical condition that has affected your skin; you were not born with it
Worthy Engagements
People suffering from the disease dread social participation and turn into a loner, running for cover and distance from everybody and everything. Do not let this ruin all your chances of happiness.
  1. Keep yourself occupied in creative pursuits like blogging, writing poetries, composing music, shooting home videos, painting, dancing, cooking and everything else that you can do alone and still feel contended.
  2. Other times, stay close to friends who just take you as you are, even if that means a couple of just one of them.
  3. Travel a lot, meet new people, make new friends, see new places and learn new things. Get out of your hibernation, winter is long gone!
  4. Enroll in an online course if you are not comfortable to go back to school and learn a new language or a subject that has always interested you.
  5. Meditate so that you are in full control over your emotions and you can forget people’s eyes following you around or their vibes influencing you.
But, first of all see and doctor and seek cure or at least control over the development. Abide by the restrictions determinately, so that you start seeing results in time.
The List of Nos
  1. Do not be around sympathetic people if you do not want to wallow in self-pity.
  2. Do not let people lecture you on how unfair life can be and similar things that grow on you.
  3. Do not stop to talk to over-curious folks who stare too much and make you feel uncomfortable.
There is no definite way of changing people’s perception or how they treat you. However, you can try to spread awareness so that the future victims can find themselves in a less weird world.
