Vitiligo is a skin disease in which patches of skin lose their color.
Vitiligo (vit-il-EYE-go) is a skin disease that causes the skin to lose its color. A smooth white area appears on the human skin (if it is less than 5 mm, it is called a plaque, if it is larger than 5 mm, it is called a plaque). If you suffer from vitiligo in a hairy area, the hair on your body may also turn white.
