Vitiligo
Clinical Signs and Symptoms
- White or light-colored patches on the skin
- Patches may appear on the hands, face, and around body openings and genitals
- Premature whitening or graying of the hair on the scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, or beard
- Loss of color in the tissues that line the inside of the mouth and nose (mucous membranes)
- Changes in the color of the retina (inner layer of the eyeball)
Types
- Segmental Vitiligo: Affects only one side or part of the body.
- Non-Segmental Vitiligo: Symmetrical patches on both sides of the body, the most common type.
- Focal Vitiligo: Limited to a few areas and does not spread within a year.
- Generalized Vitiligo: Most common type, widespread loss of skin color.
- Universal Vitiligo: Loss of skin color on almost all body surfaces.
Causes
- Autoimmune response where the body’s immune system attacks and destroys melanocytes (the cells that produce pigment).
- Genetic factors and family history.
- Triggers: sunburn, stress, exposure to industrial chemicals, or skin trauma.
Diagnosis
- Clinical examination of the skin.
- Use of a Wood’s lamp (UV light) to highlight areas of pigment loss.
- Skin biopsy to confirm the absence of melanocytes.
- Blood tests to check for associated autoimmune conditions.
