Vitiligo isn’t what you think: Myths, facts, and the power of early care
Vitiligo, an autoimmune skin condition causing milky-white patches, arises from melanocyte destruction. It’s non-contagious, unrelated to diet or hygiene, and affects all ethnicities. While there’s no permanent cure, treatments like topical therapies and phototherapy can restore pigmentation. Early diagnosis, dermatological care, psychological support, and increased public awareness are crucial for improving the quality of life for individuals with vitiligo.
