Vitiligo, also known as vitiligo in medical terms, is a skin condition in which white patches appear on specific areas of the skin. It occurs due to a lack of melanin, a pigment that determines skin color. Although the condition is not physically harmful, it can be mentally and socially challenging for the affected person.
The good news is that vitiligo is not contagious, and it is not a matter of superstition or curse. Although there is no permanent cure for it yet, some home and natural remedies can help reduce symptoms and improve skin health.
