Non-segmental vitiligo is the most common of the 2 types of vitiligo. It is often characterized by white patches that are generalized (seen anywhere on your body), and symmetrical (if it’s on one side of your body, it’s in the same place on the other side. A disorder called vitiligo (pronounced "vit-ih-LIE-go") results in areas of the skin losing their pigment. With time, the discoloured spots often enlarge. Any portion of the body's skin might be impacted by the illness. The tongue and hair can both be impacted by it. Melanin often controls the hue of skin and hair. Melanin-producing cells die or cease working, which causes vitiligo. All skin tones are affected by vitiligo, however, those with dark or black skin may notice it more. Neither the ailment is infectious nor life-threatening. It could cause tension or make you feel self-conscious. Signs of vitiligo include: Skin colour loss typically first manifests in patches on the hands, face, and regions near body openings and the genitalia. premature greying or whitening of your eyebrows, beard, eyelashes, or scalp hair tissues that border the interior of the mouth and nose losing colour (mucous membranes) Although vitiligo can begin at any age, it often manifests before the age of 30.

4. CAUSES
• Happens on molecular level
• Occurs when melanocytes starts to die off,
• Responsible for coloration & protection from UV rays
• Susceptible genes on chromosomes;
• 4q13-21
• 1p31
• 7q22
• 8p12
• 17p13.

5. • Steroid creams, can restore some of the pigments
• Moisturizers can be helpful to protect and hydrate the
