Embracing Embracing Every Treatment Treatment and Every Hue: and Self-Acceptance Self-Acceptance Hue: Your Your Journey Journey with with Vitiligo Vitiligo Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition characterised by the loss of pigmentation, leading to white patches on the skin known as vitiligo spots. It occurs when the cells responsible for producing melanin, which gives colour to the skin, hair, and eyes, are destroyed. Vitiligo can affect any body area, and each person will experience the ailment differently. Here are a few typical vitiligo symptoms: Depigmented Patches: The primary symptom of vitiligo is the presence of white or light-coloured patches on the skin. These patches can vary in size and shape, and they often have well-defined edges and may appear on any part of the body, including the face, hands, arms, feet, and genitals.

  2. Symmetrical Distribution: It often affects both sides of the body symmetrically. Variation in Size and Shape: The patches of depigmentation can be small or large and have irregular shapes. They may start as small spots and gradually expand over time. Loss of Color in Mucous Membranes: In some cases, vitiligo can also affect mucous membranes, such as the inside of the mouth and nose, as well as the genitals. Premature Graying of Hair: It includes premature greying or whitening of hair in the affected areas such as hair on the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and other body hair. Sensitivity to Sunlight: The depigmented skin patches are more susceptible to sunburn because they lack the protective pigment melanin. Skin disorder vitiligo is caused by various factors including: Genetic Factors: These factors play a role in the development of vitiligo. People with a family history of vitiligo or other autoimmune conditions may have a higher risk of developing the condition themselves. Certain genes that are involved in regulating the immune system and melanocyte function are thought to contribute to the susceptibility to vitiligo. Autoimmune Component: Vitiligo is often considered an autoimmune disorder. In the case of vitiligo, the immune system targets and destroys melanocytes, which are responsible for producing the pigment melanin that gives colour to the skin, hair, and eyes. Environmental Factors: Factors such as sunburn, exposure to certain chemicals, or emotional stress have been suggested as potential triggers. These factors are often considered vitiligo causes. Vitiligo not only affects physical appearance but can also have a significant impact on an individual's psychological and emotional well-being. The condition can lead to lowered self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. Take the necessary vitiligo treatment.
