Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a skin condition marked by white patches that develop due to the loss of melanocytes, cells responsible for skin color. These patches often spread and can affect any part of the body, including the skin, hair, and inside of the mouth. The exact cause of vitiligo is unknown, but it is believed to involve autoimmune, genetic, and environmental factors. Not contagious or life-threatening, vitiligo can nevertheless impact a person’s self-esteem. Treatment options vary, including topical medications, light therapy, and in some cases, surgery, aimed at restoring color or eliminating white patches. Protecting affected skin from the sun is also recommended to prevent further pigment loss.
