Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune dermatological condition that affects both genders equally and often has a positive family history. It can present as symmetrical or segmental white patches on any part of the body, commonly on the hands, face and around joints. While it does not impact physical health, vitiligo often causes psychological distress, affecting self-esteem and social life.
