Hello. Thank you for your message.

Vitiligo occurs when pigment-producing cells die or stop functioning. Loss of skin color can affect any part of the body, including the mouth, hair, and eyes. It may be more noticeable in people with darker skin.  It can affect people of any age, gender, or ethnic group.
