The condition known as vitiligo, which can affect the skin on any part of your body as well as your hair, the inside of your mouth, and even your eyes, is one that results in the loss of skin color in blotches.
Melanin, which normally determines the color of hair, skin, and eyes, can become inactive or die, causing vitiligo.
Vitiligo is a skin condition that can be stressful or make you feel self-conscious. It affects people of all skin types, though darker skinned individuals may notice it more.
The affected skin patches become lighter or white, and the underlying cause of vitiligo is unknown.
- a condition wherein the melanocytes in your skin are attacked by and destroyed by your immune system
- Family history (heredity)
- a precipitating circumstance, such as sunburn, stress, or exposure to chemicals used in manufacturing
Usually, the discoloration first appears on sun-exposed areas, such as the hands, feet, arms, face, and lips. **Symptoms–**The main sign of vitiligo is color (pigment) loss that produces light or white patches on your skin.
Vitiligo signs include:
- Skin discoloration
- premature graying or whitening of your beard, eyelashes, eyebrows, or scalp hair (typically before the age of 35)
- mucous membranes (the tissues that line your mouth and nose) losing color
- the inner layer of the eyeball, called the retina, is lost or changes color.
- Armpits, the navel, the genitals, and the rectum all have discolored patches.
Although vitiligo can begin at any age, it typically first manifests before the age of 20.
The vitiligo you have may cover any of the following, depending on its type:
Many parts of your body.The discolored patches of this most prevalent type of vitiligo, known as generalized vitiligo, frequently progress symmetrically on corresponding body parts.
Only one side or part of your body.Segmental vitiligo, which typically starts earlier in life, progresses for a year or two before stopping.
One or only a few areas of your body.The name for this kind of vitiligo is localized (focal).
It’s difficult to predict how your disease will develop; occasionally, patches stop forming without treatment; typically, pigment loss spreads until it affects the majority of your skin; and sporadically, the skin’s color returns.
