In areas of the skin affected by vitiligo, the natural color is lost due to destroyed melanocytes or a decrease of melanin synthesis. The substance melanin, which safeguards the epidermis from the sun's UV radiation, is made by melanocyte cells. Small and undetectable white patches first appear on the skin. These blotches gradually spread and grow larger. The body parts most commonly impacted by vitiligo are the face, legs, hands and genital area. Autoimmunity, viral infection, genetics, stress, etc. are some of the causes of vitiligo.
