Veteran actress and cancer survivor Nafisa Ali recently revealed that she has been diagnosed with leucoderma. Nafisa shared that she started noticing white patches on her skin after undergoing chemotherapy. However, the lovely actress is not bogged down by the diagnosis, as she thinks that in life we win some and lose some.

Owing to the nationwide lockdown, Nafisa is currently stuck in Goa. Revealing about her leucoderma diagnosis, the actress took to her Instagram handle and wrote, “Ever since my chemotherapy I started noticing white patches on my neck area … now being by the sea and getting a tan,I can tell it’s on my face too. Such is life … you win some and lose some.I have been diagnosed with Leucoderma.”

Further explaining her medical condition, she wrote, “What is it? Quite similar to the skin condition “Vitiligo” –leucoderma is a skin disorder in which patches of skin tend to lose its natural colour. Leucoderma is regarded as the de-pigmentation of the skin which is marked by the localization or complete destruction of melanocytes in the body. The characteristic formation of white patches on the skin remains closely bound to each other unlike the patches formed in Vitiligo.”

She ended her post saying, “Leucoderma is particularly known by the presence of white patches which could be localized to smaller areas in the beginning. However, with the passage of time, the skin patches might get enlarged. Stay blessed and happy(sic).”
