What is Vitiligo?

Vitiligo is a disease that causes the loss of skin colour in patches.It can affect any part of the body. It can also affect hair and inside of the mouth. Melanin determines the color of hair and skin. Vitiligo occurs when the cells that produce melanin stop functioning. It is absolutely non-contagious and non – threatening to life.

Symptoms

  • Patchy loss of skin color
  • Premature whitening or graying of the hair on your scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows or beard
  • Loss of color in the tissues that line the inside of your mouth and nose
  • Loss of or change in color of the inner layer of the eyeball (retina)

Vitiligo can start at any age, but often appears before age 20.

Vitiligo types depend on the discoloured patches on your body such as

  • Many parts of the body
  • Only one side or part of your body
  • One or only few areas of the body

Vitiligo has no cure. But treatment may help to stop or slow the discoloring process and return some color to your skin.
