What is Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition characterized by the loss of pigment, resulting in white patches on the skin. This occurs when the melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing skin color, are destroyed or malfunction. Vitiligo can affect any part of the body and can vary in size and distribution.
Understanding the Causes
Vitiligo occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys melanocytes. Several factors may contribute to the development of vitiligo, including:
- Autoimmune Conditions: A predisposition to autoimmune diseases can increase the risk of developing vitiligo.
- Genetics: A family history of vitiligo or other autoimmune diseases may play a role.
- Skin Trauma: Physical damage or stress to the skin may trigger or worsen vitiligo.
- Sunburn: Severe sunburn can sometimes lead to the onset of vitiligo in susceptible individuals.
Common Symptoms
- White Patches: The primary symptom of vitiligo is the appearance of white or light-colored patches on the skin.
- Symmetry: Patches often appear symmetrically on both sides of the body, though this is not always the case.
- Changes in Skin Color: The affected areas may become lighter over time, and new patches may develop.
