When pigment-producing cells pass away or stop working, vitiligo develops. Any area of the body, including the mouth, hair, and eyes, might experience skin colour loss. People with darker skin tone could detect it more readily. Although the condition is not cured by treatment, the skin may look better.

2. What is vitiligo
Vitiligo is a condition that causes
the skin to begin to lose its
pigmentation—or color—for no
apparent reason, resulting in
white patches that are especially
noticeable in people whose skin
tone is naturally dark.

4. An auto immune
condition When the immune system
begins to attack healthy
tissue, it often results in
inflamed joints, according to
the National Institutes of
Health. In cases where the
immune system attacks the
skin, it can lead to rashes,
blisters and color change.
The latter is what happens
with vitiligo, an
autoimmune condition
where the immune system’s
assault on skin cells results
in the loss of pigmentation.
When you think of
autoimmune diseases, you
might picture lupus or
rheumatoid arthritis. With
those conditions, the body’s
immune system, which
normally functions as a barrier
to prevent harmful bacteria,
viruses and infection from
infiltrating the body, turns on
itself and begins attacking
healthy cells in the body
instead.

5. Preventions of
vitiligo
Protecting skin from sun
exposure
Avoiding skin irritants
Intake of vitamin-rich foods
Keeping skin moisturized
