Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition that causes loss of pigment, resulting in white patches on the skin. It occurs when melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) stop functioning, leading to lighter areas that can appear anywhere on the body, including the face, hands, and joints. While vitiligo is not harmful or contagious, it can affect self-confidence and may progress over time. At Embrace Dermatology, we offer specialized treatment options to help restore pigmentation, slow progression, and improve skin tone consistency.
