Medical and surgical options for repigmentation of white patches.
What is Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks and destroys melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells in the skin, resulting in white patches. While not physically harmful, vitiligo can have significant psychological and social impacts. Modern treatments offer hope for repigmentation and improved quality of life.
