Vitiligo happens to be a common skin disease that is not harmful to the physical wellbeing of the people affected by this but nonetheless can damage the psycho social condition of the people. In spite of the impressive enhancements in the administration of this disease, still there exist a number of people who do not respond to any availability. This all take them to the situation of despair and the people begin to knock at every place that offers them even the least hope for the treatment of this sickness.

The ever-growing interest in PABA (Para Amino Benzoic Acid) recently lands into the same category. A number of people are raving big about this remedy. The medical literature in this manner has been sought that is laced with huge information about PABA in various disciplines of medicine but not much evidence about its usage in Vitiligo has been discovered.

A research published in 1942 (ref: Sieve BF. The clinical effects of a new B complex factor, para-aminobenzoic acid, on pigmentation and fertility. South Med Surg. 1942;104:135–139.) raised the claim of success in the treatment of male infinitely and Vitiligo with PABA and its usage in Vitiligo. This research did not have any controlled groups and therefore did not have any scientific importance.

The safety issues surround PABA as well ranging from hyper sensitivity to its current usage to wider liver injury and skin depigmentation. The evaluation is not satisfactory about the safety in kids, pregnant or nursing women and the people having liver and kidney problems.
