A public awareness seminar on herbal medicine developed by DRDO was held.
A public awareness seminar on herbal medicine developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for treating leucoderma, a skin condition with white patches, is being organised here on September 8.
Leucoderma Awareness Movement-India, a charitable trust, is holding this seminar at C.E.O.A. Matriculation Higher Secondary School in Kalai Nagar Extension in the city.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, K. Umapathy, secretary of the awareness movement, said that the aim is to introduce the herbal medicine ‘Lukoskin,’ which was developed by DRDO, scientifically proved and available in the market.
In Tamil Nadu, there are 36 lakh people affected by leucoderma and are not aware about the herbal medicine which comes as tonic and cream. Awareness meetings are being conducted in various districts.

A common perception is that leucoderma is non curable disease or its treatment is too much expensive for a layman. In fact this disease is fully cure able and introduction of herbal products are really doing a great job in this regard. This awareness seminar will be vital for educating the people.
Keep the good work continue.
If DRDO comes forward with traditional medicine for Chronic Urticaria it
will be very helpful for the patients suffering from this skin problem.
