Vitiligo medically known as achromia, which means loss of color. Vitiligo is a disorder in which white patches of skin appear on different parts of the body. Vitiligo is more commonly known as leucoderma, which simply means white (leuco) skin (derma), i.e. a skin disorder where it loses its normal coloration. This happens because the cells that make pigment (color) in the skin are destroye.

I've had vitiligo since February 1997. I encountered the condition while fishing on the doc of a condo my parents shared with another couple. I had spent from sunrise till about 4 pm in the sun and realized that I had burned in an unusual way.
A gentleman walked up to me and said I had tiniversacolor. My doctor initially gave me the same diagnosis, but later changed it to vitiligo. Most people don't notice that I have the condition but I have been told (and it has proven itself over the years) that it is aggravated by stress.
I stay out of the sun or coat myself well with sun block spf 70. This seems to keep things under control. I've yet to visit the site mentioned above but will be interested to see what they say. His description of the disease is correct. One thing I didn't notice him mention is that you will always have a matching spot. If you have it on your fingers on the right hand (which is where it started with me) there will be a smaller but parallel spot on the fingers of the left hand.
This has been 100% true in every area that has popped up over the years. It may eventually spread to the point that the areas connect, but usually they are distinctly separate when they begin.
My VIT showed up seven years and I try so hard not to pay attention to it. It is spreading and I am dealing with it more now than ever. Good Luck to all of you deal with and put up with this condition.
Remember VITILIGO does not define who we are, but rather, it is the HEART that beats within us and the way we treat people that really matters.
God Bless

Vitiligo is more commonly known as leucoderma, which simply means white (leuco) skin (derma), i.e. a skin disorder where it loses its normal coloration. It is also medically known as achromia, which means loss of color.
Basically, Vitiligo can hardly be called as a disease but a skin- disorder that has more social than medical significance, especially amongst the dark skin people. Due to retarded melanin formation, there is loss of pigmentation.
The Vitiligo sufferers are observed all over the world, including the white skin communities. However, epidemiologically most cases are recorded in India (8.8%) and Mexico. Males and females are affected equally, inclusive of children age group. It may begin at any age. Childhood vitiligo is not uncommon.
Causes:
The exact cause for the pigmentary disorder remains unknown. However, there are theories suggesting autoimmune link, hormonal connection, genetic tendencies, etc. The familial incidence is almost 20 to 30%. Often observed in the family members. If the parents have Vitiligo, there are more chances of one developing the same. However, it is not a rule. At the same time, numerous cases of vitiligo do not have a relevant family history of Vitiligo.
The precipitating factors have been identified as due to pressure of tight clothes (such as on the waist) or certain occupational hazards such as wearing certain rubber hand gloves. Long term intake of certain drugs is found to produce the pigmentary disorder. In many cases, especially in children, we often have no clue why one develops vitiligo.
Like many disease conditions, the exact causation yet remains a mystery!
Features:
The typical appearance of Vitiligo is a milky while depigmented spot or spots. It may vary from a single white spot to multiple spots. The shape too is a variable. In some cases generalized de-pigmentation observed all over the body. It has a tendency to start as a single spot and gradually grow in size and number. It may present with a single or several spots on limbs or abdomen or back and then spreading to other parts of the body. Some cases showing affection of the mucocutaneous junctions such as finger-tips, corners of the mouth, private parts, around eyes. The spread of the disorder is usually slow and progressive. Symmetrical appearance on both the side of the body (say, on the legs, hands, etc.) is common. In rare cases one finds vitiligo spreading all over the body.
Associated Skin Disorders:
At times, you may find Vitiligo associated with one or more of the following conditions:
° Alopecia Areata (Loss of hair)
° Premature graying of the hair
° Lichen Planus
° Psoriasis
° Halo Naevus
° Ichthyosis
Associated Systemic Disorders:
There are several systemic diseases (affecting the entire body system), which are at times associated with Vitiligo:
° Thyroid Disorders (Hypo and Hyperthyroidism)
° SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus)
° Pernicious Anemia
° Addison's Disease
° Collegen Diseases
° Grave's Disease
° Diabetes Mellitus
It may be noted that the sufferers of Vitiligo need not be unduly scared of the above disease conditions, as they shold not be regarded as the complications of Vitiligo in every case.
