Asked for Female | 25 Years
I am suffering from vitiligo since almost 10 years. The patch is not spreading and is only at one place on my left cheek. Since it is not spreading, i would prefer for surgery might be melanocyte transplantation, the one i found from google, if not this might be as advised by doctors. Would like to know what would be the cost and time of cure for this. The patch will be utmost 2cm dia.

The white spots or patches seen on skin due to vitiligo, is caused by the event of immune cells crawling into the skin and killing melanocytes (also known as pigment producing factories). To counter that, this treatment could be efficient, especially if the immune system isn't actively attacking your skin, but if your vitiligo becomes unstable at any point, and which is not predictable even for the doctors, then this treatment wouldn't work the way you intended for it to. This should be a safe procedure otherwise with minimal recovery time and barely any side effects except possible pain and/or redness. The melanin will be extracted from your normal skin and cultured in lab to provide more cells and then cover your patches through transplant.
The cost can fall within the range of Rs. 35,000 to Rs. 1,00,000, and sometimes exceed further, depending upon the area to be covered, technique used, and location as well as infrastructure of the clinic, along with the expertise of doctor.
The procedure should take 2 to 4 hours, the post treatment care would require at least one week's worth of your attention, but the results would show up after few weeks.
