Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a skin condition characterized by patches of white or depigmented skin where pigment has been lost. While the exact cause remains unclear, it is believed that vitiligo results from a combination of genetic, autoimmune, and environmental factors. Protecting depigmented areas from sun exposure is often recommended to prevent sunburn.
