Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterised by patches of skin losing their pigment. These white patches can appear anywhere on the body and result from the destruction of melanocytes, cells responsible for skin colour. Though not life-threatening, vitiligo can impact a person's psychological and social well-being.
