In worldwide millions of people have vitiligo(Leucoderma).
It can develop at any age. Nearly half get it before they reach 20
years of age. Vitiligo affect men and women equally. Any area of
skin can be affected. However, the most common sites involved are the
hands, neck,face and scalp.
Vitiligo occurs when the cells that producing
melanin die or stop functioning. The clear cause is unknown, several
possible reasons are explained. Autoimmunity might be one of the
possibilities. This means that your own immune system (which normally
protects your body from infections) causes damage. The involved
patches of skin become lighter or white. Other possible reason could
be a trigger event such as sunburn, stress or exposure to industrial
chemicals. Most of the cases are sporadic but in some there will be
family history.
The vitiligo progression
is occurs differently in each person. In some people the white
patches do not spread. But usually the white patches can spread other
areas of the body, for a few people, vitiligo spreads slowly, over a
few years. For others, spreading happens quickly. Some have developed
a lot of white patches when physical or emotional stress.
There is no known cure
for vitiligo, but treatment may improve your skin’s appearance by
restoring its color and control the spread of the condition.
