Business Description
Vitiligo is an auto-immune disease that is characterised by the loss of skin colour. It can result in white patches of milky White Patches on the Skin during the Early Stages of Vitiligo. This is because the immune system mistakenly fights and kills melanocytes, which are the pigment cells that produce pigment. Any part of the body may be affected. But the hands, knees, feet, elbows and face are among the most affected. While the exact cause of vitiligo is not known, a mix of autoimmune, genetic, and environmental triggers is believed to be responsible. Although vitiligo's symptoms aren't harmful or transmissible on their own, the changes to skin pigmentation it triggers can have a significant social and psychological effect on people who have it, resulting in feelings of self-consciousness or stigma. A few people suffer from hearing loss and the appearance of ocular puffiness. According to several studies, anywhere between 0.5% and about 2% of the population is thought to suffer from Vitiligo. Skin tones with darker shades tend to display it more clearly, but it can also affect people of all ethnicities and races.
