Vitiligo is a skin disorder characterized by the loss of pigment-producing cells, resulting in patches of depigmented or white skin.
It affects people of all skin types and can occur anywhere on the body. While not painful or contagious, vitiligo can significantly impact an individual's self-esteem due to its visible nature. There's no cure for vitiligo, but treatments like topical corticosteroids or light therapy may help repigment the skin. Living with vitiligo often involves managing its cosmetic effects and finding ways to boost self-confidence.
