After battling cancer, Nafisa Ali diagnosed with leucoderma

Veteran actor Nafisa Ali Sodhi has been diagnosed with leucoderma. She shared the news on social media. Nafisa, a cancer survivor, is currently in Goa with her daughter. Leucoderma is a skin condition in which patches of skin tend to lose its natural color. It occurs due to the localization or complete destruction of melanocytes (melanin-producing cells) in the body. Here's more on this.

Details
You win some, you lose some, Nafisa said

Nafisa shared the diagnosis while posting a happy picture of herself on Instagram. The 63-year-old said she started noticing white patches on her neck area since she underwent chemotherapy for her cancer treatment. "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 loose some (sic)," the actor further penned.

Quote
Nafisa also explained the disorder in detail

Nafisa explained the disorder, writing, "The characteristic formation of white patches on the skin remains closely bound to each other unlike the patches formed in Vitiligo." "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," she added.

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 loose some .I have been diagnosed with Leucoderma ... 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 color. Leucoderma ( not a cancer )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. 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 😃

Health
Nafisa was diagnosed with cancer in 2018

Nafisa was diagnosed with stage-3 peritoneal and ovarian cancer in November 2018. She was declared cancer-free last year. Talking about her struggle with the disease, Nafisa had shared she has to go for check-ups every three months and it would take five years before the cancer enters remission. "But it (the recovery) was still a good reason to reach for the champagne," she said.

Other details
Nafisa arrived in Goa in March, could not return

Nafisa was recently in the news after she got stranded in Goa, without stocks of ration and medicines. She arrived in the coastal state in March, but could not return to her home in Delhi after the government declared a three-week lockdown to contain the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. After the actor narrated her plight to media, the Goa government extended support to her.
