What is Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is also known as leucoderma and
is a relatively common skin disorder where
white spots or patches appear on the skin. The most widely accepted view
regarding vitiligo is that the depigmentation occurs because vitiligo is an
autoimmune disease in which a person's
immune system reacts against the body's own organs or tissues. People's
bodies produce proteins called cytokines. In vitiligo, these alter the
pigment-producing cells and cause these cells to die. Only
the color of the skin is affected by vitiligo, but
texture and other skin qualities remain normal. The hair may also turn white
that grows in areas affected by vitiligo.
Another theory is that melanocytes destroy themselves.
This occurs when the melanocytes, cells
responsible for skin pigmentation, die or are unable to function. The precise
cause of vitiligo is complex and not fully understood. There is some evidence
suggesting it is caused by a combination of auto-immune, genetic, and
environmental factors.
Some people
have a single event such as sunburn or emotional distress that triggered their
vitiligo.
