Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterized by the loss of skin pigment, resulting in white patches on various parts of the body. It occurs when melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing melanin, are destroyed. The exact cause is unknown, but it is believed to involve an autoimmune process. Treatment options include topical corticosteroids, phototherapy, and skin grafting.
