Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a condition that causes depigmentation (whitening) of the skin. It is characterised by patchy white spots on the skin, and it is more common in people with darker skin tones. It is caused by an autoimmune reaction that attacks melanocytes (cells that produce melanin).

Vitiligo can appear at any age, but it most often appears between the ages of 10 and 30. When it first appears, it may resemble sun damage or dry skin. If your vitiligo does not go away, it may get worse over time, causing extensive depigmentation.

If you notice white patches on your skin that do not fade when exposed to sunlight, see your Dermatologist right away. There are treatments available that may help with the appearance of your vitiligo.

Vitiligo Treatment

Prescription topical creams, light treatment as well as laser treatment are used for the treatment of vitiligo. Sometimes, combination therapy may be required. Early treatment of vitiligo patches is more likely to result in re-pigmentation.
