Here are two sites that will give you information:\n\nhttp://www.vitiligoinfo.com/\n\nVitiligo or leukoderma is the patchy loss of skin pigmentation due to an auto-immune attack by the body's own immune system on skin melanocytes.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitiligo

My Dad has it and I have a tiny little bit on my forearms - I bet no-one has noticed mine.  Dad's has worsened over the years.  His sister, my aunt also had it a bit.\n\nGo to your Yahoo Home, in the Search the Web bar, choose images and type in Vitiligo and you'll see the many faces of people with the conditon.

Are you asking about conventional treatment or alternative treatment? \n\nTreatment depends upon the perception of the problem. I encourage you to look into the link between fungal infection and scleroderma. There's a lot of information out there, but conventional doctors probably won't know much about it because they get very little training about mycotoxins in medical school. I know, because my son's a doctor, lol!

Vitiligo, a disease that eats the skin pigments from your face slowly in a huge area. It's very rare though you won't see many people like this but I have seen a man at the bus stop who looked very scary. A white man on the left side and black on the other. It was crazy.

What Is It?\n\nLangerhans' cells are white blood cells in the immune system that normally play an important role in protecting the body against viruses, bacteria and other invaders. They are found in the skin, lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow and lungs.\n\nIn Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (formerly known as histiocytosis X), Langerhans' cells multiply abnormally. Instead of helping to protect the body, these cells, in massive numbers, cause tissue injury and destruction, especially in the bones, lungs and liver. Although this overgrowth of cells may be like cancer, most researchers do not consider Langerhans' cell histiocytosis to be a form of cancer. In fact, the cells appear to be normal. There are just too many of them.\n\nLangerhans' cell histiocytosis can develop in only one site or organ, or it can involve several different sites and organs. In most cases, Langerhans' cell histiocytosis that affects many body systems typically occurs in children younger than 2, whereas single-site disease may occur in people of any age.\n\nThe cause of the disorder is unknown. However, researchers are studying the possibility that some common substance in the environment — perhaps a viral infection — may trigger the disease by causing the immune system to overreact. However, researchers have not yet identified an infection or substance that triggers the disease. One intriguing observation is that almost all people with the disease whose lungs are involved are current or former cigarette smokers. However, even among smokers, this condition is rare, and smoking seems to play no role in the disease when it affects parts of the body outside the lungs. Other theories suggest that the primary cause of Langerhans' cell hystiocytosis is an abnormal immune system.\n\nLangerhans' cell histiocytosis is rare, affecting one in 250,000 children and one in 1 million adults in the United States. Although it can strike at any age, it is most common in children and young adults, with about 70% of cases occurring before age 17. During childhood, Langerhans' cell histiocytosis peaks between ages 1 and 3.\n\nLangerhans' cell histiocytosis, includes disorders previously considered separate diseases: diffuse reticuloendotheliosis, eosinophilic granuloma, Hand-Schuller-Christian disease and Letterer-Siwe disease.\n\nSymptoms\n\nSymptoms can include:\n\n    * Persistent pain and swelling on a bone, especially in an arm or leg\n    * A bone fracture, especially one that happens without any apparent trauma or after only a minor injury\n    * Loose teeth, if Langerhans' cell histiocytosis affects the jaw bones\n    * Ear infection or a discharge from the ear, if Langerhans' cell histiocytosis affects skull bones near the ear\n    * Skin rash, usually on the buttocks or scalp\n    * Swollen glands (enlarged lymph nodes)\n    * Enlarged liver, with or without signs of liver malfunction, such as yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice) and abnormal accumulation of fluid in the abdomen (ascites)\n    * Bulging eyes, caused by Langerhans' cell histiocytosis behind the eyes\n    * Shortness of breath and cough, if the lungs are involved\n    * Stunted growth and excessive urination caused by hormone abnormalities\n\nLess common symptoms include fever, weight loss, irritability and inability to maintain weight and fitness ("failure to thrive").\n\nDiagnosis\n\nBecause Langerhans' cell histiocytosis is rare and tends to cause symptoms that could be caused by more common medical problems, this disease often is difficult to diagnose, and diagnosis can take time. Because of this, your doctor may ask questions that are related to those other medical problems, rather than about Langerhans' cell histiocytosis.\n\nYour doctor will examine you, paying special attention to the areas of your body where you are having symptoms. If you have bone pain or swelling, your doctor probably will want you to have a se

There is a really knowledgeable mycologist at the U of Alberta by the name of Randy Currah.  He is quite well known, but I don't know if he's THE keading mycologist.  By the way, the fungi is redundant.  Mycologists study fungi.  Check out the link below!  Good luck
