Vitiligo is an acquired, often familial, melanocytopenic disorder that produces focal depigmentation of the skin.
It is a progressive disease wherein spontaneous repigmentation may occur within 6 months.
Precipitating factors include emotional stress, sunburn, chemical exposure, skin trauma, inflammation, irritation or rash that may precede the lesions by 2-3 months. Lesions are white-colored macules or patches with well-defined borders and otherwise normal skin surface.
Early detection and intervention is essential for optimal management and improved prognosis. Limiting disease progression is beneficial for all types of vitiligo.
For further information regarding the management of Vitiligo, please refer to Disease Algorithm for the Treatment Guideline.
