A 16-years-old boy, Mr R.R.D. (PIN 18906) visited Life Force on 19th April 2012 with a complaint of vitiligo. The patient was suffering from vitiligo for one and a half years. His disease had progressed gradually since 6 months. At the time of consultation, his knee (bilateral), ankles, neck, buttocks, back, and the area below the right eye were affected by the disease. He was not taking any treatment except the candid cream.

Apart from vitiligo, he was also suffering from constipation since six years. The frequency of stool was once in 2-3 days. The stool was very hard, & straining was required for passing the stool. He was not taking any medicine for it.

The patient was non-vegetarian by diet. His thirst was less. There was no specific liking & disliking. He was a hot patient. His urine, perspiration, and sleep were normal. There was no specific dream.

In his family, his grandfather was suffering from diabetes. He had no specific past history.

He was a student of 6th class. His father was a lecturer. His mother was working in a private company.

He was studious, shy, and joyful in nature. He was reserved. He didn’t like to speak much. He was a very obedient child. 

After studying his detailed case history, he was prescribed two doses of Silica 30 and research-based molecule for his vitiligo complaint. 

After 2 months of medication on 9th June 2012, when the patient gave his follow-up, there was some improvement observed in the vitiligo spots & relief from constipation also. No new spots had appeared.

A few months later on 5th February 2013, his condition was under control. Some improvement was seen on his legs, but one new spot had appeared on his right eye. So, Dr. Shah did the required changes in his medicine. 

Later, on his follow-up on 16th October 2013, his spots on face & eye had improved by 70%, but there was no change in his ankle spots

On 14th June 2014, his condition was better. All his vitiligo spots were showing a good improvement. No new spots had appeared.

On 8th May 2015, when he gave his follow-up, all his spots on the neck, face, leg, & hip were good in condition. No new spots had appeared & no further spread of the spots was observed. His relief from constipation had also improved.

On 20th April 2016, when he gave his follow-up, there were no new spots & old spots were showing improvement. Also, now he had no other health complaints.

On 17th November 2016, his condition was improved by more than 80%. His spots on the face, lips & nose had totally vanished & other spots had improved by more than 80%. His other complaints had also improved. 

On 9th November 2017, when he gave his follow-up, his condition had improved a lot. No new spots had appeared, and old spots were also showing a good improvement. The patient was happy with the treatment.

He is still continuing our medicine for further recovery.
