General Discussion
Vitiligo is a skin-related problem defined by the look of white patches of skin on various components of the body as a result of the destruction of the cells that make pigment (melanocytes). This might differ from one or two white spots on the skin to huge areas of depigmentation. Vitiligo is not infectious. It appears to occur much more often among people that have particular autoimmune diseases. For some individuals, although not for everybody, the depigmentation is dynamic.
