Vitiligo skin disorder is easy to diagnose, White spots appear on the skin usually occurring on both sides of the body almost on the same location. The disease has been around for thousands of years. Vitiligo occurs in 1-2% of the world population. It affects both sexes equally, all races and all ages. 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 define 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 for sure why the immune cells attack the melanocytes in people with vitiligo. |
