Alphos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alphos is a form of non-contagious leprosy, formerly described by the physician Celsus under the name of vitiligo, a term now used for another skin disease. In alphos, the skin is rough, and looks as if it had drops of white upon it, not much differing from morphew.
