Alphos
Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]
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.
