Vitiligo – Stem Cell Therapy in Abroad

 

Overview

 

Vitiligo is a chronic condition that causes pale, white patches to develop on the skin. The areas affected have small or no melanin. Melanin is a dye-like substance that is produced by specialised skin cells called melanocytes, which give your skin its colour and protect it from the sun’s rays.

Where does vitiligo occur?



Vitiligo can affect any area of your skin, but most commonly occurs on skin that is exposed to the sun, such as your face, neck and hands.

Vitiligo is more noticeable in people whose skin is dark or tanned. The condition varies from person to person. For example, some people only get a few small, white patches that progress no further. Other people get larger white patches that join up across large areas of their skin…

 

Who is affected by vitiligo?
