Vitiligo causes the loss of pigment in certain areas of the skin. It may appear as smooth white patches and can slowly spread. While it’s less common than other causes, it’s often more noticeable.
Key traits of vitiligo patches:
Distinct borders
May grow over time
Can also appear on face, hands, and around body openings

✅ The spots are spreading rapidly
✅ They’re itchy, painful, or have a rash
✅ You notice changes in texture or shape
✅ They appear with other unusual symptoms
A professional can give you an accurate diagnosis and, if needed, treatment options.
