If the dosha responsible for śvitrā are seated in the rakta dhatu then
the color of hypo-pigmentation is red. It is copper-colored if dosha are
seated in māṁsa dhatu and whitish in color if located in meda dhatu.
The subsequent ones are more difficult to treat than earlier ones.

If the patches are conjoined together and are more in number, if the
body hair above the patches are red in color and if the disease is more
than one year old. Such śvitrā never gets cured. If body hair over the
patches is not red if skin is thin and pale in color. The disease, if is not
old, space between patches is elevated then such śvitrā is sādhya.
