Vitiligo is a skin condition in which there is a loss of brown
color (pigment) from areas of skin, resulting in irregular white patches
that feel like normal skin.Similar patches also
appear on both the mucous membranes (tissues that line the inside of the mouth
and nose) and the retina (inner layer of the eyeball). The hair that grows on
areas affected by vitiligo sometimes turns white.
About 0.5 to 1 percent of the world's population, or as many as 65 million
people, have vitiligo. In the United States, 1 to 2 million people have the
disorder. Half the people who have vitiligo develop it before age 20; most
develop it before their 40th birthday. The disorder affects both sexes and all
races equally; however, it is more noticeable in people with dark skin.
