What is Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is a long-term condition where areas of skin lose pigment and appear white or lighter than surrounding skin. Patches may stay stable, spread slowly, or expand after stress, injury, sunburn or illness.
The condition is not contagious. Many patients feel more affected emotionally than physically because visible patches can influence confidence, social comfort and self-image.
The Vitiligo consultation records the diagnosis, reports, current medicines, symptom timeline, daily-life impact and goals for follow-up.

What Causes Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is usually linked with immune activity against pigment cells, with genetic and trigger factors influencing the pattern.
- 01 Autoimmune tendency: The immune system may affect pigment-producing cells.
- 02 Genetic susceptibility: Family history can increase risk in some patients.
- 03 Stress or shock: Emotional stress may coincide with onset or spread in sensitive patients.
- 04 Skin injury: Friction, burns or cuts can sometimes trigger patches at that site.
- 05 Thyroid association: Thyroid symptoms or reports may need review.
