Vitiligo is a skin condition whose exact cause is unknown. In vitiligo, patches of skin lose their pigmentation when the pigment producing cells, the 'melanocytes' are attacked and destroyed. It may affect the skin, mucous membranes, eyes, inner ear or hairs leaving white patches. The usual type of vitiligo is called 'Vitiligo Vulgaris' (means: common vitiligo). Variant types include linear, segmental, trichrome and inflammatory vitiligo. |
This disease affects an estimated 1% of the world's population. It affects individuals of all ethnic origins and both sexes, but is much more easily noticed on darker skin as areas that fail to tan. It is hereditary in one third of those affected. Vitiligo often starts on the hands, feet or face, and frequently pigment loss is progressive. Half the patients first notice vitiligo before 20 years of age. It often appears in an area of minor injury or sunburn. |
It is believed that vitiligo is an autoimmune disorder (autoimmune means the bodies own immune system turns on itself). Certain white blood cells direct the destruction of melanocytes. People with vitiligo are also somewhat more prone to other autoimmune diseases, such as alopecia areata, autoimmune thyroid disorders, Addison's disease, pernicious anemia, and diabetes mellitus. |
The skin is made up of two main types of cells or building blocks: keratinocytes and melanocytes. The keratinocytes make up the bulk of the skin. The melanocytes are the cells that make the skin color. In people with vitiligo, the immune cells (cells which fight infection) attack the melanocytes and kill them. When the melanocytes in a certain area die the skin turns white. No one knows why the immune cells attack the melanocytes in people with vitiligo. |
There are two main types: Generalized and Localized. Localized types occur only over one part of the body e.g. face, hands or legs. |
Generalized vitiligo involves more than 70% of the body surface area. Segmental vitiligo is an interesting type of localized vitiligo where patches occur along the direction of cutaneous nerves. |
There are three broad classification of vitiligo categorised according to the extent of involvement and distribution on depigmentation. |
- Types depending on the distribution pattern and area wise involvement :
-
Vitiligo Vulgaris: The most common type with bilaterally symmetrical lesions, predominantly distributed over face, neck, torso, fingers, toes, palms, soles and facial orifices.
-
Segmental Vitiligo: Here the patches are unilateral and asymmetric in distribution.
-
Lip-tip Vitiligo: These are restricted to the lips and distal part of fingers and toes.
-
Focal Vitiligo: Focal Vitiligo localized to a single area.
-
Universal Vitiligo: There is loss of pigment over the entire body surface except a few small islands of pigmented skin.
-
Combination Vitiligo: A Combination of Vitiligo Vulgaris and segmental Vitiligo are seen in the same patient.
- Types depending on the activity of the disease process :
- Active
- Quiescent
- Improving
- Types Depending on the cause:

| SYNONYMS |
- Hypomelanosis
- Depigmentation

SYMPTOMS People who develop vitiligo usually first notice white patches (depigmentation) on their skin. These patches are more common in sun-exposed areas, including the hands, feet, arms, face, and lips. Other common areas for white patches to appear are the armpits and groin and around the mouth, eyes, nostrils, navel, and genitals. Vitiligo generally appears in one of three patterns. In one pattern (focal pattern), the depigmentation is limited to one or only a few areas. Some people develop depigmented patches on only one side of their bodies (segmental pattern). But for most people who have vitiligo, depigmentation occurs on different parts of the body (generalized pattern). In addition to white patches on the skin, people with vitiligo may have premature graying of the scalp hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, and beard. People with dark skin may notice a loss of color inside their mouths. |
-
Patches can appear anywhere on the skin surface.
-
Most patients initially experience depigmentation on sun-exposed areas followed by body folds then lips or genitalia.
-
Sites of covered areas initially affected include chest wall, lower back or areola.
-
The size, shape, number and distribution of individual macules vary widely. The bilateral lesions are usually symmetrical.
-
Family history of vitiligo
-
Sudden or gradual onset of flat normally textured areas of skin with complete pigment loss
