Vitiligo (White Patches)
Understanding Vitiligo and Its Causes
Vitiligo is a skin condition characterized by the loss of pigment, resulting in white patches appearing on various parts of the body. It occurs when melanocytes—the cells responsible for producing skin pigment (melanin)—are destroyed or stop functioning. Although the exact cause is not fully understood, vitiligo is believed to be an autoimmune condition, sometimes linked to genetic factors, thyroid disorders, or other underlying health issues. It can affect people of all skin types but may be more noticeable in individuals with darker skin tones.
