Vitiligo: What You Need to Know About the Skin Disease

  • 2 years ago
Vitiligo also called ‘leucoderma’, is a long-term skin condition that causes an area of the skin to lose its colour (pigmentation), which results in the area looking white or pink in appearance. Vitiligo can actually appear anywhere on the body, but it’s more likely to develop in some of the following areas:
Eyes, nostrils, belly button, elbows, and genital areas.
Occasionally found inside of the mouth.
Areas of the body that have folds, such as the knees and elbows.
