Vitiligo Vulgaris

Vitiligo vulgaris is an acquired, non-contagious disorder. Patients with vitiligo vulgaris visit a dermatology clinic complaining of “loss of skin color”. However, white lesions are not always due to vitiligo vulgaris. This means that “loss of skin color” needs numerous differential diagnoses. The differential diagnoses included numerous diseases. In addition, we also analyzed the complications of patients with vitiligo vulgaris in view of the autoimmune diseases.

Acrofacial Vitiligo

In Acrofacial Vitiligo Depigmentation occurs on parts away from the center of the body such as face, head, hands and feet.

The term Acrofacial Vitiligo refers to the common distribution of milky white or light pink patches in which it spreads in limited parts, away from the center of the body. People suffering with Acrofacial Vitiligo usually have a lot of emotional distress, since the disease effects the exposed parts of the body, which socially becomes embarrassing.

Acrofacial Vitiligo is a result of stress. It is the prime culprit, which in turn affects the immune system of the individual. Removal of the pigments of the skin is the result. Typical symptoms, which are commonly seen, include premature greying of hair, white patches, uveitis, sensitivity to sun and golden brown patches in the area around the mouth, eyes and nostrils. Psychological or physical stress increases the risk of spreading of vitiligo.

Segmental Vitiligo is also called Unilateral vitiligo. It has a different form of appearance. This condition spreads more rapidly, but is considered more constant and stable than non segmental vitiligo. It is definitively much less common, and it affects only about 10% of people with this condition. But unpredictably, segmental vitiligo is more noticeable in the early ages affecting about 30% of the children that have been diagnosed with vitiligo.

Symptoms:

  • Appears on 1 segment of the body, such as a leg, face or arm.
  • About half of people lose some hair color, such as on the head, an eyelash or an eyebrow.
  • Often begins at an early age.
  • Often progresses for a year or so then stops.
  • A symptom is felt by the patient, such as a headache dizziness or pain.

 

What you can do:

  • Review your family medical history. Find out if anyone in your family has vitiligo, a thyroid condition or a disease in which the immune system attacks healthy tissues in the body

Focal Vitiligo

In Focal Vitiligo, One or two closely set depigmented patches localised to a single area.
Vitiligo is a loss of skin pigment, or color, that causes white spots or patches to appear on the skin. No one knows exactly why this happens, but we do know it affects people of both sexes and all races.

Who Gets Vitiligo?

Vitiligo appears to affect at least 1% to 2% of the population, irrespective of sex, race, or age. Series have been reported from across the globe. The more dark skinned a person is, the more their vitiligo stands out, because of the contrast between affected and unaffected areas of skin. This may account for the apparent higher prevalence of vitiligo in some countries with darker-skinned populations. Vitiligo has become a marked social stigma in countries such as India, where opportunities for social advancement or marriage among affected individuals are severely limited even today.
In half of all vitiligo cases, onset occurs between the ages of 10 and 30. There are a few reported cases of vitiligo present at birth. Onset in old age also rarely occurs. Over 30% of affected individuals may report a positive family history. Up to four loci are now considered responsible for vitiligo. Vitiligo in identical twins has been reported. The risk for children of affected individuals is unknown, but may be less than 10%. People from families with an increased prevalence of thyroid disease, diabetes mellitus, and vitiligo appear to be at increased risk for development of vitiligo.

universal-vitiligo-millenium-clinic-vapi

Universal Vitiligo

A rare type of vitiligo in which more than 80% of the skin is depigmented.

We do not know whether patient characteristics differ from those in the more common types of vitiligo. Moreover, nothing is known about HRQOL  i.e. Health-Related Quality Of Life in these patients. The aims of this study were to describe characteristics and HRQOL of patients with universal vitiligo and to compare these with the characteristics and HRQOL of patients with general vitiligo.

How do people inherit vitiligo?

Vitiligo sometimes runs in families, but the inheritance pattern is complex since multiple causative factors are involved. About one-fifth of people with this condition have at least one close relative who is also affected.
