What is Vitiligo?

Vitiligo disease is a hypopigmentation disorder, featuring white spots or patches of skin. It is a non-contagious, non-fatal skin condition that can affect people with any skin type but may be more visible in brown or black-skinned people.

Some people suffer from a few discolored areas of skin while others experience widespread loss of skin color. The disease is progressive so affected areas of the skin can grow bigger over time and even the inside of the mouth or hair can lose their natural color in some cases.

Types of Vitiligo

The skin condition vitiligo is categorized into the following kinds:

Generalized vitiligo skin (most common)- It is characterized by scattered pale patches of skin called macules on different body sites. The condition gradually spreads with new patches developing and disappearing throughout the life of the sufferer.
Segmental vitiligo- It is seen only on one side or side of the body like on the face or hands. After about 6-12 months, the condition stabilizes.
Mucosal vitiligo- The loss of color is seen in mucous membranes of the mouth and/or genitals.

Localized/ Focal vitiligo (rare)- Macules affect small areas of the skin and do not spread in certain patterns for years.
Trichome (bull's eye discoloration)- White or colorless skin patches or spots are surrounded by lighter pigmented skin and the areas of natural skin tone.
Universal (rare)- More than 80% of skin all over the body loses its pigment.

What are the Symptoms of Vitiligo?

Vitiligo symptoms can affect small areas of the body or it could be widespread. Starting symptoms of vitiligo usually include few, small, lighter skin patches that remain of the same size for years. Later, new patches develop either close or far away from existing patches, commonly on the face, arms, feet, hands, genitals, and mucosal membranes. In extreme cases, scalp and body hair also lose their color and turn gray, silver, or white.

Causes of Vitiligo

Vitiligo occurs due to death or loss of functioning of the melanocytes. Melanocytes are the specialized cells that produce melanin pigment which imparts natural color to the skin of an individual. Researchers to date cannot find the exact vitiligo causes but as per them vitiligo reasons could be:

An autoimmune condition is the mistaken attack on melanocytes by immune cells.
A genetic mutation or changes, which affects the functioning of melanocytes.

What causes Vitiligo to Spread?

Emotional or physical stress affects the amount of melanocyte production.

Exposure to UV radiation or toxic chemicals affects the melanocytes' functioning.

How is Vitiligo Diagnosed?

Vitiligo starting stage is easily and accurately diagnosable with a visual examination by a dermatologist and a review of the patient’s medical records.

In some cases, diagnosis may involve using Wood’s lamp to illuminate the skin and closely examine it; a skin biopsy; and/or some blood tests to rule out other skin condition possibilities.
