Leucoderma / Vitiligo (सफ़ेद दाग)

 

Leucoderma (Vitiligo)

The medical name for leucoderma (leucos means white; derma means skin) is vitiligo. It is a disease caused by destruction of cells called melanocyte in skin, which produce the pigment melanin responsible for our skin colour. Loss of this pigment leads to white patches in different parts of the body- there are no other symptoms associated with it. It can occur at any age.
