Vitiligo: What Is It ?
Melanin is the pigment that gives color to your skin, hair and eyes. Vitiligo occurs when the skin’s pigment-producing cells die or stop producing melanin. Blotches of skin on any part of the body start losing color, becoming lighter or white. The locations, rate and extent of vitiligo’s effects are unpredictable, though the color loss usually first appears on areas of the body that are exposed to sun, such as the face, arms and hands.

What Causes Vitiligo?
It is thought that vitiligo is an autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks the pigment cells in the skin. Heredity plays a part, and there may be an event that triggers the start of vitiligo, such as a sunburn or stress. It affects both genders, and people of all ethnic origins equally, though it is more noticeable on darker skin.

Can Vitiligo be Treated?
Physicians and other healthcare professionals at SAC bring in years of success stories offering treatments with the goal of re-pigmentation of the affected areas. Vitiligo’s course is unique for each person affected, so it’s important to see your SAC physician right away to discuss effective treatment options before complication sets in.
