Lightened patches on skin
Lightened skin patches occur when areas of skin lose some or all of their pigment, appearing paler than surrounding skin. This can be distressing cosmetically and may indicate conditions requiring medical attention. Ayurveda has a long tradition of treating skin depigmentation with specialised herbal formulations.
