I have this patch of really white skin. It looks like splashes of spilt milk. My doctor says I have vitiligo but I don’t understand what vitiligo is.
Vitiligo is quite a common skin condition which can cause extreme distress to sufferers because of its unusual appearance. It affects at least one in every hundred people in countries throughout the world including the UK. It affects people of both sexes equally, and it affects all races. It can begin at any age, though about fifty percent of people with vitiligo develop it before the age of twenty five.
