However, vitiligo may appear more apparent or obvious in people with dark skin, hence why the misconception persists.<\/li><li><strong>Vitiligo can eventually turn your whole body white<\/strong> \u2013 There are many types of vitiligo, certain types of vitiligo may result in nearly all skin surfaces to lose pigment, other types of vitiligo may develop in patches all over the body. In some, the loss of pigment may appear as isolated patches.<\/li><li><strong>Vitiligo is associated with skin cancer<\/strong> \u2013 Vitiligo is not associated with skin cancer. The condition has a different, or rather opposing, mechanism compared to skin cancer development. However, a certain type of treatment for vitiligo, psoralen UVA therapy, was associated with an increased risk of skin cancer. On the other hand, certain types of immunotherapy used in skin cancer treatments were also associated with an increased risk in vitiligo development.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-82089f0\" data-id=\"82089f0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2cabd4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f2cabd4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What does vitiligo look like?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65984c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"65984c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Vitiligo appears as a small patch of white or pale skin that may spread over time.

It is believed that CD8+ T cells attack the melanocytes by producing the cytokine interferon-gamma (IFN-\u03b3). IFN-\u03b3 release leads to increased T cell recruitment, causing a positive feedback loop that leads to gradual loss of melanocytes. The destroyed melanocytes also release antigens which are taken up by other immune cells. A special type of immune cells, referred to as memory T cells \u201cremembers\u201d the melanocyte antigens. Memory T cells contribute to the repeated attacks on melanocytes, inhibiting pigmentation of the skin and contributing to disease relapses [1, 2].<\/p><p>The disease is also associated with several factors including:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Genetics<\/strong> \u2013 Genetics play a significant role in the likelihood of vitiligo development. Having a first-degree relative with vitiligo increases the risk of developing vitiligo from 1% to 6% [1].<\/li><li><strong>Autoimmune diseases<\/strong> \u2013 Vitiligo is also associated with other autoimmune disorders, such as type 1 diabetes mellitus, autoimmune thyroiditis, Addison\u2019s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus.<\/li><li><strong>Environmental stressors<\/strong> \u2013 Environmental stressors can cause cell injuries in the skin and melanocytes. Examples of cell stressors include radical oxygen species (ROS) and chemical exposure, which can lead to formation of melanocyte antigens, inflammation and activation of the immune cells [1].<\/li><li><strong>Cancer treatment<\/strong> \u2013 Treatment for melanoma using checkpoint inhibitor PD-L1 has been implicated to contribute to the development of vitiligo lesions [1, 2].<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1041\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"2\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1041\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><p class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> How is vitiligo diagnosed? <\/p><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1041\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b83e95c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b83e95c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e7c97a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e7c97a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Generally, your dermatologist can diagnose vitiligo by visually inspecting the patches associated with the condition. Vitiligo diagnosis can be done in the dermatologist\u2019s office with the following tests:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Physical examination<\/strong> \u2013 Typically, your dermatologist will ask you about your family history, followed by examination of the vitiligo lesions. Your dermatologist may use a tool called Wood\u2019s lamp, which emits ultraviolet (UV) light on your skin. If the skin fluoresces upon exposure, it may indicate that the patch is a vitiligo lesion.<\/li><li><strong>Blood tests<\/strong> \u2013 Blood tests are typically performed to diagnose other autoimmune diseases that you may have.<\/li><li><strong>Eye examination<\/strong> \u2013 Your doctor may perform eye examinations to look for signs of uveitis.

Common treatment options for vitiligo include:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Corticosteroids<\/strong> \u2013 Corticosteroid treatment for vitiligo can reduce inflammatory response involved in the pathophysiology of the disease. Corticosteroids work by reducing cytokine and chemokine levels in the body hence reducing T cell activity, hence controlling the disease\u2019s progression. Corticosteroids are usually given as topical ointments or creams, with systemic treatment typically recommended for those with active\/progressing disease. Common topical corticosteroids for vitiligo include betamethasone, clobetasol, hydrocortisone, and fluticasone. Systemic corticosteroids can include methylprednisolone and dexamethasone [4].<\/li><li><strong>Calcineurin inhibitors<\/strong> \u2013 Calcineurin inhibitors such as tacrolimus and pimecrolimus block the activity of the enzyme calcineurin, hence reducing the production of cytokines such as IL-2, IFN-\u03b3, and TNF-\u03b1 [2]. This subsequently reduces T cell activity that destroys melanocytes.<\/li><li><strong>Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor<\/strong> \u2013 JAK inhibitors such as ruxolitinib work by inhibiting Janus kinase enzymes, hence interfering with the signals that lead to the production of cytokines and chemokines involved in vitiligo lesion formation, such as IFN-\u03b3, IL-2, IL-15 [2]. JAK inhibitors can also be given as a topical treatment or a systemic treatment.<\/li><li><strong>Immunosuppressants<\/strong> \u2013 The use of immunosuppressive medication such as methotrexate, cyclosporine, or azathioprine can sometimes be used in place of JAK inhibitors [2].<\/li><li><strong>Psoralen plus UVA (PUVA) therapy<\/strong> \u2013 PUVA therapy involves taking a medication containing psoralen, followed by UVA light exposure which activates the psoralen into chemical compounds that suppresses the immune system while stimulating repigmentation via melanocyte proliferation and pigmentation [1].<\/li><li><strong>Phototherapy<\/strong> \u2013 Narrow-band UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy involves exposure to a narrow range of UVB wavelength via a lamp. Phototherapy using NB-UVB mainly functions to encourage repigmentation of vitiligo lesions by stimulating melanocyte migration and proliferation. NB-UVB phototherapy is also typically preferred as it is associated with lower risks of adverse effects [1, 2 , 4].<\/li><\/ul><p>Treatment of vitiligo can be done on active or stable lesions. In some cases, these different treatment modules can be combined. However, it is important to note that vitiligo is a chronic condition, and relapses and recurrences of depigmentation may occur even after treatment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1043\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"4\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1043\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><p class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Can vitiligo be cured? <\/p><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1043\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f99b502 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f99b502\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4afe2b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b4afe2b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There is no cure for vitiligo, it is a chronic autoimmune condition that can progress further or relapse.

Changes in your appearance and social stigma surrounding the condition are thought to contribute to poor self-esteem in vitiligo patients. A number of things can help with living with vitiligo:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Understanding your condition<\/strong> \u2013 Education and awareness helps with empowerment. Understanding vitiligo and how it works can help you to navigate your life with the condition. Knowledge on your triggers, symptoms, and treatment options can benefit you in controlling or treating the progression of the disease. Educating your loved ones and people around you can also benefit your self-esteem.<\/li><li><strong>Reduce stress<\/strong> \u2013 Just like other autoimmune diseases, vitiligo can worsen with stress. Relieving or managing your stress levels and avoiding triggers can prevent disease progression.<\/li><li><strong>Maintain a healthy lifestyle<\/strong> \u2013 Maintaining a healthy lifestyle such as being physically active and adopting a healthy diet can improve your overall well-being and mental state. Adopting a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods such as fish rich in healthy fats, or fruits and vegetables high in vitamins and antioxidants, can reduce inflammatory triggers that contribute to autoimmune diseases like vitiligo.<\/li><li><strong>Consider counselling<\/strong> \u2013 Keeping your mental health in check is equally important as keeping your body healthy. Consider counselling or psychotherapy to help with psychological effects of vitiligo such as anxiety and depression.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-17641d9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"17641d9\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_bottom&quot;:&quot;waves&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_bottom_negative&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-bottom\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-negative=\"true\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M790.5,93.1c-59.3-5.3-116.8-18-192.6-50c-29.6-12.7-76.9-31-100.5-35.9c-23.6-4.9-52.6-7.8-75.5-5.3\n\tc-10.2,1.1-22.6,1.4-50.1,7.4c-27.2,6.3-58.2,16.6-79.4,24.7c-41.3,15.9-94.9,21.9-134,22.6C72,58.2,0,25.8,0,25.8V100h1000V65.3\n\tc0,0-51.5,19.4-106.2,25.7C839.5,97,814.1,95.2,790.5,93.1z\"\/>\n<\/svg>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e58757f\" data-id=\"e58757f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-34dd0cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"34dd0cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Summary<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7dda1d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7dda1d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Although a typically benign condition, loss of skin pigment in vitiligo can cause psychological distress in patients.

On the contrary, vitiligo was associated with a lower risk of skin cancers including melanoma and non-melanoma cancers. This is likely due to the overactive immune system in vitiligo, which may have a protective effect against melanoma [2]. However, vitiligo treatment using PUVA therapy is associated with an increased risk of skin cancers [1]. Hence, medical consultation is important in diagnosing the condition and choosing a suitable treatment according to your needs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d886439 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d886439\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">References<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f61485b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f61485b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ol><li>Frisoli ML, Essien K, Harris JE.
