GlossaryVitiligo (Skin Pigment Loss)

chronic skin condition causing loss of pigment, resulting in white patches

Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition characterized by the loss of pigment, resulting in white patches on various parts of the body. This occurs when melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing skin pigment (melanin), are destroyed or stop functioning. The exact cause is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve genetic, autoimmune, and environmental factors.
