DermoVitek

A phytoceutical compound (Piperine in combination with other botanical extracts) developed by Cumberland Biotherapeutics, is an over-the-counter alternative medicine for the treatment of vitiligo/ Leukoderma. Currently, there is no cure for vitiligo. Vitiligo is a skin disorder that causes the skin to lose its natural pigmentation. It can develop at any age and there is no difference in prevalence according to sex, skin type or race. Current treatment options include immunosuppression, UV radiation-based therapies and surgical grafting of melanocytes. However, response to treatment is highly variable, and re-pigmentation is usually incomplete. There is an undisputed need for new therapeutic options for managing vitiligo. This disease affects an estimated 1% of the world's population. It affects individuals of all ethnic origins and both sexes but is much more easily noticed in persons of darker skin as areas lose pigmentation. It is hereditary in one third of those affected. Vitiligo often starts on the hands, feet or face, and frequently pigment loss is progressive. Half the patients first notice vitiligo before 20 years of age. It often appears in an area of minor injury or sunburn. It is believed that vitiligo is an autoimmune disorder where the body's own immune system turns on itself. Certain white blood cells direct the destruction of melanocytes. People with vitiligo are also somewhat more prone to other autoimmune diseases, such as alopecia areata, autoimmune thyroid disorders, Addison's disease, pernicious anemia, and diabetes mellitus.
