Vitiligo is a skin condition that causes white patches of skin to appear on various parts of the face and body. The disorder can also cause hair to lose its pigment and turn white. The condition can affect people of any race but is more noticeable in people with darker skin and hair.

General vitiligo is believed to be an autoimmune condition, which means the immune system mistakenly attacks pigment-producing cells (melanocytes). The condition affects up to 2 percent of the world's population. Vitiligo is not contagious.

Vitiligo is a skin condition that makes the skin lose color or pigment, appearing lighter than the normal skin tone or turning white. If the area of the skin that loses color is less than 1 centimeter, it is called a macule; if the area is larger than 1 centimeter, it is called a patch. If a person has vitiligo on the part of the body that has hair, their hair might also turn white or silver. It is a skin condition that requires treatment, and if you are seeking for best vitiligo treatment in Delhi, then book your appointment at Dr. Syed’s Royal Lush skin and laser clinic in Delhi.

There are two types of vitiligo: 

• Non-segmental vitiligo 

It is the most common type of vitiligo in which a person experiences pale skin patches that appears on both sides. It is also called bilateral or generalized vitiligo or vitiligo vulgaris. 

• Segmented vitiligo 

It is another type of vitiligo in which white patches appear on just one side of the body, like on one arm or one leg instead of both. 

Symptoms of Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disorder that leads to patches on the skin losing color. These patches usually appear symmetrically on both sides of the body, like both hands or knees. The biggest and primary symptom of vitiligo is that a person may experience the appearance of light or depigmented spots on the skin. These spots can develop on any body part though they may appear first in areas that perceive a lot of sun exposure, like on arms, face, feet, and hands. It is uncommon for these areas to appear in the armpits, groin, or around the belly button.

Some more symptoms of vitiligo are: 

• Hair turning silver or white. 
• Eyelashes or eyebrows losing color and turning white 
• Changing the color or retina of the eye
• Color loss in the mouth or nose 
• Inflammation of the eyes to ears leads to hearing loss and vision problems. 

Causes Of Vitiligo

The condition occurs when pigment-producing cells die or stop producing melanin. Melanin is the pigment that offers your skin, hair, and eyes color. There can be many causes of vitiligo: 

• Family history 
• A disorder of the immune system like Addison disease, thyroid disease, pernicious anemia, and type 1 diabetes.
• A triggered event like stress, severe sunburn, or skin trauma
•  Contact with a chemical
