What is vitiligo?
Vitiligo is a chronic skin disorder where white patches are developed on skin. Vitiligo can affect many areas of the body. It affects both men and women. It tends to develop at a young age i.e. between ages 10 years to 30 years. It is hereditary i.e. people are at an increased risk of developing it if any of their family member have it. Vitiligo is also triggered by auto immune disorders like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and also type 1diabetes. People tend to lose pigment cells on several areas of skin very fastly. People can notice white patches on skin which may remain in the same size for a while and may become large in later stages. This formation of white patches and increase in their size is like a cycle and people may face these cycles of patches and stability on other areas of the skin. This mainly affects body folds like arm pits, areas that are most exposed to sun, injured parts, areas around the moles and body openings. It may also attack hair and eye lids. It is very rare that the pigment cells may return back on areas affected.
Major causes of Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is hereditary, but the exact cause of this condition is not known. It is believed to be an auto immune disorder where body’s immunity mistakenly attacks its own healthy cells instead of attacking foreign substances. In people with vitiligo the pigment forming cells known as melanocytes gets damaged. As the skin loses its melanin, it doesn’t have its normal colour. Though vitiligo affects people of all races equally, it is mostly seen in dark skinned people.
