This autoimmune disease attacks color-producing cells.

Vitiligo

Hints:

  • May be seen with other autoimmune diseases, such as thyroid disease and alopecia areata.
     

  • Sharply defined patches devoid of color are seen on the skin, and if the affected area bears hair, the hair may turn white as well.
     

  • Most commonly affects areas of injury, particularly on the face, upper chest, hands, armpit, and groin.
