Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a chronic, acquired autoimmune disorder of the integumentary system characterized by the selective, progressive destruction of melanocytes It can develop at any age across all skin phototypes and populations, though onset frequently occurs before the age of thirty Pathophysiologically driven by an aberrant autoreactive immune attack against pigment-producing cells, the condition clinically manifests as well-demarcated, amelanotic white macules and patches on the skin, mucosal membran...

It can develop at any age across all skin phototypes and populations, though onset frequently occurs before the age of thirty

Pathophysiologically driven by an aberrant autoreactive immune attack against pigment-producing cells, the condition clinically manifests as well-demarcated, amelanotic white macules and patches on the skin, mucosal membranes, and hair follicles

Lesions often demonstrate a predilection for the face, acral extremities, and intertriginous areas, presenting as localized, segmental, or widespread nonsegmental patterns
