Vitiligo is a skin disorder where the skin loses pigmentation and appears pale or white. The condition starts on the hands and forearms, or the face and feet. A dermatologist can help one with effective vitiligo treatment in Delhi, with various options tailored to their specific needs. The areas where the skin loses pigmentation are called macules if they are smaller than one centimetre in width. Larger areas are called patches. Even the hair strands in this region will be devoid of color.

The immune system's destruction of the skin's melanocyte cells is the primary cause of vitiligo. It is an autoimmune disorder that is noncontiguous. Melanocyte cells produce melanin, which is responsible for the color of our skin, eyes, and hair. The lack of melanin production changes the skin pigmentation in that area. 

Symptoms of Vitiligo

Symptoms of vitiligo are visible as white patches on the skin of the body. Here are some symptoms of Vitiligo.

  • Loss of skin color in patches
  • The eyelids change color
  • Greying or whitening of hair on your body, beard, etc.

The most common places to have symptoms of vitiligo include the Hands, Feet, Arms, Face, lips, and nose.
 

Who Can Develop Vitiligo?

Vitiligo can affect a person of any age and gender, though you are likely to see the signs before crossing 30 years. People with type 1 diabetes, psoriasis, Addison’s disease, lupus, anemia, thyroid, and rheumatoid arthritis are at a higher risk of being affected by Vitiligo. That said, only 1% of the world’s population has this skin condition. 

A few symptoms of Vitiligo are as follows: 

  • White or light skin patches around the mouth, eyes, nose, or other parts of the body.
  • Hair on the patches turning gray, silver, or white.

The patches may continue to be the same for years, though they can spread over time. Genetic changes, excessive stress, and overexposure to toxic chemicals or UV light can cause vitiligo.

Causes of Vitiligo

It's not clear what exactly causes of vitiligo happen. It may be related to:

  • An autoimmune condition
  • Genetic or family history
  • Stress
  • Environmental triggers
     

Types of Vitiligo

Vitiligo treatment in Delhi: A few common types of Vitiligo like Generalized, Segmental, Mucosal, Trichome, Focal, and Universal.

  • Generalized: This is the most common form of vitiligo, where small, irregular-shaped white patches (macules) appear across various parts of the body. These patches can spread over time, affecting both symmetrical & asymmetrical skin areas.
  • Segmental: Segmental vitiligo is characterized by the loss of pigmentation on only one side of the body or in a specific area. The depigmented patches typically appear along a single dermatome (the area of skin supplied by a single nerve). 
  • Mucosal: Mucosal vitiligo affects the mucous membranes, which are the moist tissues inside the mouth, nose, genitals & other body openings. In some cases, it may affect both the mucous membranes & the skin surrounding these areas, leading to noticeable pigmentation loss.
  • Trichrome: Trichrome vitiligo is characterized by a distinctive "bull’s-eye" pattern, where the center of the affected patch is lighter than the surrounding ring of pigmented skin. This type of vitiligo typically occurs on the face or upper body & is a variant of generalized vitiligo. 
  • Focal: Focal vitiligo is considered a rare form, where depigmentation appears in just one or a few small, localized patches. Unlike other types of vitiligo, focal vitiligo does not tend to spread & the patches usually remain stable over time.
  • Universal: Universal vitiligo is the most severe & rare form, where over 80% of the body’s skin loses pigmentation. This form can lead to near-total depigmentation, affecting large areas such as the face, limbs & torso.
