Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterized by patches of the skin losing their pigment.
The patches of skin affected become white and usually have sharp margins.The hair from the skin may also become white. The inside of the mouth and nose may also be involved. Typically both sides of the body are affected.Often the patches begin on areas of skin that are exposed to the sun. It is more noticeable in people with dark skin. Vitiligo may result inpsychological stress and those affected may be stigmatized.
The exact cause of vitiligo is unknown. It is believed to be due to genetic susceptibilitythat is triggered by an environmental factor such that an autoimmune disease occurs.This results in the destruction of skin pigment cells.Risk factors include a family history of the condition or other autoimmune diseases, such as hyperthyroidism, alopecia areata, andpernicious anemia. It is not contagious.Vitiligo is classified into two main types: segmental and non-segmental. Most cases are non-segmental, meaning they affect both sides; and in these cases, the affected area of the skin typically expands with time.About 10% of cases are segmental, meaning they mostly involve one side of the body; and in these cases, the affected area of the skin typically does not expand with time.Diagnosis can be confirmed by tissue biopsy.
