Vitligo
Vitiligo is a condition where patches of skin lose their pigment, resulting in white spots.
It occurs when melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin color, are destroyed.
The exact cause is unknown, but it's believed to be an autoimmune disorder.
Vitiligo can affect any part of the body and can start at any age.
While not harmful, it can impact a person's self-esteem and emotional well-being.
Vitiligo: Loss of Skin Pigmentation
An autoimmune condition where melanocytes (pigment cells) are destroyed, causing patchy loss of skin colour
Exposed areas such as hands, feet, arms, and face are commonly affected, especially around body openings and areas of friction or trauma. Suspected causes include autoimmune attacks on melanocytes, genetic predisposition, and triggers like sunburn, stress, or chemical exposure. It can affect any race or gender, often starting before age 20, with a higher risk in those with autoimmune diseases. Treatment options include topical steroids or calcineurin inhibitors, UVA/UVB light therapy, depigmentation for widespread vitiligo, camouflage cosmetics, and tissue or cell transplants.
