Vitiligo is a skin disease in which white spots form because they lack such a pigment as melanin. This disease is quite difficult to treat, because it is not fully understood. Vitiligo in no way affects the state of the body, but as an aesthetic defect, it can cause the occurrence and development of serious psychological trauma.
This disease with the same frequency affects both sexes of young and middle age. But according to official statistics, women still get sick more often. This happens because it is the fair sex who are sensitive to the aesthetic appearance of their skin and often seek medical help.
