📖What is Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition in which patches of skin lose their pigment due to the destruction of melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing skin color, resulting in irregular white patches. It can affect any part of the body, including hair and mucous membranes, and tends to be progressive, though the rate and pattern of spread vary greatly between individuals. The condition is not medically dangerous or contagious, but can have a substantial psychological and social impact given its visible nature. Vitiligo is believed to be autoimmune in origin and often occurs alongside other autoimmune conditions.
