    Vitiligo is a skin disease that is characterized by irregular white patches or blotches on skin which can appear on any part of the body. These white patches are result of destruction of pigment producing cells called melanocytes. This disease usually starts with a small white spot and spread to different parts of the body. In some cases size of those white patches may also increase. Vitiligo is not dangerous and it causes no harm but is unacceptable because of cosmetic factors.

For such people a number of therapies are available. The most proven techniques out of these are UV therapy and herbal treatments.

Vitiligo patients should not get disheartened coz by using the above treatments they can re-pigment their skin and can regain their self confidence.
