Imagine waking up one morning to find your entire hand has turned white, with patches creeping up your arm, promising to spread further. Now imagine going through that experience completely alone, feeling like an anomaly in your community and the world. This isolating, challenging reality is what people living with vitiligo face every day.
Vitiligo is a long-term condition where pale white patches develop on the skin due to a lack of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. These patches can appear anywhere on the body but are commonly seen on the face, neck, hands, and in skin creases.
