Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a skin condition in which the cells that produce pigment are lost, resulting in white patches with well-defined borders. It can appear anywhere on the body, and its extent varies from person to person.
Characteristics: the patches are usually symmetrical and appear on the hands, face, around the eyes and mouth, or in skin folds. It is neither contagious nor painful.
Common causes: it is related to a mechanism in which the person's own immune system affects the pigment cells; genetic factors also play a role.
