Causes and Risk Factors of Vitiligo
Vitiligo is caused by the destruction of melanocytes, possibly due to autoimmune reactions, genetic factors, or environmental triggers. Risk factors include a family history of vitiligo, autoimmune diseases, or experiencing extreme sunburn, stress, or skin injury.
Diagnosis of Vitiligo
Vitiligo is diagnosed through a physical examination, medical history, and wood’s lamp analysis. A dermatologist may also perform blood tests to rule out associated autoimmune conditions. Early diagnosis is essential for effective management and slowing the progression of the condition.
