What Causes Vitiligo?

Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks melanocytes-the cells responsible for skin pigment. This results in white patches of skin that can appear anywhere on the body, often progressing over time.

Triggers may include genetics, oxidative stress, or previous trauma to the skin. Our team provides early diagnosis, supportive treatment, and long-term monitoring to manage and minimise pigment loss.
