Vitiligo- Product Box

Vitiligo  causes the skin to lose its natural color. Patches of lighter skin appear. Some people develop a few patches. Others lose much more skin color. Vitiligo can also affect other parts of your body. A section of hair can turn white. Some people lose color inside of their mouths. Even an eye can lose some of its color. What causes this color loss is still a mystery. We do know that vitiligo is not contagious. It is not life-threatening. 

How does vitiligo start?

Vitiligo usually begins with a few small lighter patches that develop on the skin. These patches may stay the same size for years or grow larger. New patches can appear on the skin. The new patches may be close to existing patches or far from them.

If you develop a few spots or patches that appear in one or a few places on your body, dermatologists refer to this as localized vitiligo.

When vitiligo causes scattered patches of color loss on different areas of the body, it’s called generalized vitiligo. While rare, some people lose most of their skin color. This is called universal vitiligo.

There’s no way to predict how much color someone’s skin will lose. There’s also no way to know who will have patches that get larger or where new patches will appear.

What you see when vitiligo begins is also affected by the type of vitiligo you have. The most common type, non-segmental vitiligo, tends to spread slowly with new patches developing off and on throughout a person’s life.
