01
What it is
Vitiligo is a condition in which areas of skin lose pigment, creating patches that appear lighter or white compared with the surrounding skin. It is generally considered an autoimmune condition involving pigment-producing melanocytes.
Medical vitiligo treatment focuses on controlling disease activity where possible and encouraging repigmentation using dermatologist-prescribed therapies selected according to the location, extent and pattern of vitiligo.
02
How can vitiligo appear?
Vitiligo can develop in different patterns and may affect one area or several parts of the skin.
Pigment loss commonly becomes noticeable on exposed areas such as the hands or fingers.
Some forms of vitiligo develop similar areas of pigment loss on both sides of the body.
Vitiligo may affect areas around the eyes, mouth or other parts of the face.
Existing patches may remain stable or gradually increase in size over time.
Hair growing within an affected area can sometimes lose its natural pigment and appear white or grey.
One or more clearly defined areas may appear lighter or completely white compared with surrounding skin.
WHO MAY NEED FURTHER ASSESSMENT
Some pigment changes deserve closer dermatologist evaluation before treatment.
New white patches appearing over a short period
Existing patches increasing in size or number
Pigment loss affecting the face, hands or multiple body areas
White patches associated with other unexplained skin changes
Areas that do not clearly resemble typical vitiligo
03

Personalised medical treatment
Depending on the individual, dermatologist-prescribed treatment may include topical corticosteroids or other topical medicines designed to influence inflammation and pigmentation.
Pigment & progression monitoring
Patches are reviewed over time to assess repigmentation, stability and whether new areas of pigment loss are developing.

Physician note
Medical vitiligo treatment is not simply about covering a white patch—it begins with understanding whether the condition is active, stable and suitable for treatment.
