Signs of Vitiligo
A skin disorder, Vitiligo can be brought on by various precipitating causes. Although Vitiligo can develop at any age, its signs often first appear between the ages of 20 and 30. Most individuals with this disorder are otherwise healthy and have normal skin sensation and texture. However, Vitiligo may be more common in people that have certain autoimmune diseases. These diseases may include vitamin B-12 deficiency anemia known as pernicious anemia, Addison’s disease, or thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Vitiligo also has a potential to affect all races and both sexes equally.
