Vitiligo is a skin condition where the body loses its natural pigment (melanin), leading to white patches on the skin or hair. It can appear on the face, hands, arms, legs, and even scalp. While vitiligo is not contagious or harmful, it can deeply affect a person’s confidence and self-image.
Vitiligo occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks pigment-producing cells (melanocytes). Factors that may contribute include:
Autoimmune conditions
Genetics (family history)
Stress or major life events
Skin trauma (cuts, burns, sun damage)
✔ White or light patches of skin that may spread over time
✔ Premature whitening of hair, eyebrows, or eyelashes
✔ Increased sensitivity in affected areas due to lack of pigment
✔ Symmetrical patches on both sides of the body
At AIDermatology eClinic, our board-certified dermatologists provide advanced solutions to help restore pigment and improve skin appearance. Depending on your condition, treatment may include:
✔ Topical therapies (steroids, calcineurin inhibitors)
✔ Light therapy (phototherapy/PUVA) to stimulate pigmentation
✔ Oral medications to stabilize immune response
✔ Camouflage cosmetics for instant confidence boost
✔ Counseling & lifestyle guidance to support emotional well-being
Though vitiligo can’t always be cured, its progression can be slowed and patches can improve significantly with consistent care. Our goal is not only to treat your skin but also to restore your self-confidence.
