About vitiligo

Vitiligo is a skin condition in which your skin loses its colour from several areas on the body leading to the formation of white patches. This condition can occur at any part of the body and can also affect the hair and the inside of the mouth.

Vitiligo symptoms

This skin condition is characterised by the following signs and symptoms:

Loss of skin colour in random patches
Premature whitening of the hair
Discolouration of the tissues that line the inside of your mouth and nose

Types of vitiligo

The several types of vitiligo are divided based on the location it affects. These include:

Universal vitiligo – affecting nearly all of the skin surfaces
Generalised vitiligo – affecting most parts of the body in a symmetrical manner
Segmental vitiligo – affecting only one side of the body
Localised vitiligo – affecting only a few areas of the body
Acrofacial vitiligo – affecting only the face and hands

Vitiligo causes

Vitiligo usually occurs when the pigment-producing cells in the body die or stop producing melanin (the pigment responsible for giving you colour). This process leads to the whitening of patches. There is no exact reason why the pigment-producing cells die. Researches believe it can be related to the following:

An autoimmune disease
Family history
Skin trauma

Vitiligo treatment

Your treatment protocol depends upon your age, the amount of skin involved, the extremity of symptoms and the pace at which the disease is progressing. Common treatment methods include:

Medication
Light therapy
Depigmentation
Surgical skin grafting
