Overview
Understanding vitiligo
Vitiligo causes well-defined pale patches where pigment-producing cells are lost. It is not contagious and is not caused by diet. Management focuses on stabilising activity, encouraging repigmentation where possible, and protecting affected skin.
At Own Skin Dermatology & Advanced Aesthetics we treat the cause, not just the appearance, which is why every plan starts with an examination.
