WHAT IS VITILIGO?

Vitiligo is a chronic skin disorder, which causes patchy loss of skin colouring (pigmentation). It occurs when skin cells that make pigment – are attacked and destroyed, that causes the skin to turn a milky-white in colour.

An average age of onset of vitiligo is in the mid-twenties, but it can appear at any age. 

Its size and number of patches varies from person to person. This condition tends to progress over time, with larger areas of the skin losing pigment. 

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF VITILIGO?

The exact causes of vitiligo are still unknown. 

It might be an autoimmune condition, where your body's immune system turn on your own cells instead of attacking invading germs.

Also, researchers continue to study how family history and genes may play a role in causing vitiligo. 

Factors like sunburn, emotional distress, or exposure to a chemical – can trigger vitiligo or make it worse. 

WHERE DOES VITILIGO OCCURS?

The areas of skin most commonly affected by vitiligo include:

• mouth and eyes

• fingers and wrists

• armpits

• groin

• genitals

• inside your mouth

HOW COMMON IS VITILIGO?

Vitiligo occurs in about 1% or slightly more of the population throughout the world. 

Vitiligo affects all races and genders equally; however, it more commonly occurs in people with darker skin. 

Although vitiligo can develop in anyone at any age, it most commonly appears in people ages 10 to 30 years.

Vitiligo rarely appears in the very young or very old.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS & SYMMPTOMS OF VITILIGO?

• Patchy loss of skin colour, which usually first appears on the hands, face, and areas around body openings and the genitals.

• Loss of colour in the tissues that line the inside of your mouth and nose (mucous membranes). 

• Premature whitening or greying of the hair on your scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows or beard. 

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF VITILIGO?

There are 2 main types of vitiligo:

1- Non-segmental vitiligo - also known as bilateral or generalised vitiligo, the symptoms often appear on both sides of your body as symmetrical white patches.

• Symmetrical patches can appear on the:

• backs of your hands

• arms

• skin around body openings, such as the eyes

• knees

• elbows

• feet

         2 - Segmental vitiligo - also known as unilateral or localised vitiligo, the white patches only affect one area of your body.

Segmental vitiligo is less common than non-segmental vitiligo, although it's more common in children. It usually starts earlier and affects 3 in 10 children with vitiligo.

In rare cases, it's possible for vitiligo to affect your whole body. This is known as universal or complete vitiligo.

IS VITILIGO FATAL?

No. And it is not in any way contagious, either.
