I must tell you first that I am not a medical doctor (M.D.), I am a basic scientist (Ph.D.), so I cannot offer you specific medical advice about treating your vitiligo. Hopefully I can still provide you with some helpful information through this website. Finding a dermatologist who is knowledgeable about vitiligo and its treatment is not always easy. Many vitiligo patients and parents of children with vitiligo share referrals on VSIG . There are a few other places to look on the web to find a dermatologist that might be able to help you. The American Academy of Dermatology website has a link called " Find a Dermatologist ". The National Vitiligo Foundation website has a link called " Physicians ", which includes an international listing.

This information is not intended as a substitute for the medical advice or treatment of a dermatologist or other physician. What is it? Vitiligo is a peculiar disorder of the skin that can occur at any age. Typically it appears as a small, white, slowly growing patch. These white patches can occur anywhere on the skin. Vitiligo is more noticeable in dark skinned individuals, and it typically does not itch, burn or sting. What causes it? Vitiligo is a type of autoimmune disease. For some unknown reason your body's immune system mistakenly thinks that the skin's pigment cells are foreign invaders. The immune system attacks the pigment cells and the loss of these cells causes white patches to form. Is it dangerous?

If the cells that produce melanin die or no longer form melanin, slowly growing white patches of irregular shapes appear on your skin. Vitiligo usually starts as small areas of pigment loss that spread and become larger with time. These changes in your skin can result in stress and worries about your appearance. There is no cure for vitiligo. The goal of treatment is to stop or slow the progression of depigmentation and, if you desire, attempt to return some color to your skin.

Resources Vitiligo Definition Vitiligo is a condition in which a loss of cells that give color to the skin (melanocytes) results in smooth, white patches in the midst of normally pigmented skin. Description Vitiligo is a common, often inherited disorder characterized by areas of well-defined, milky white skin. People with vitiligo may have eye abnormalities and also have a higher incidence of thyroid disease, diabetes mellitus , and pernicious anemia . Vitiligo affects about 1-2% of the world's population. It is more easily observed in sun-exposed areas of the body and in darker skin types, but it affects any area of the body and all races. Vitiligo seems to affect men and women equally, although women more frequently seek treatment for the disorder. Vitiligo may appear as one or two well-defined white patches or it may appear over large portions of the body. Typical sites for generalized vitiligo are areas surrounding body openings, bony areas, fingers, and toes. It can begin at any age but about 50% of the time it starts before the age of 20. Vitiligo is a disorder with complex causes. People with vitiligo seem to inherit a genetic predisposition for the disorder, and the appearance of disorder can be brought on by a variety of precipitating causes. Many people report that their vitiligo first appeared following a traumatic or

Vitiligo is a skin disorder stemming from a lack of normal melanin pigment. Vitiligo occurs when pigment-producing melanocyte cells are destroyed or fail to function properly. Distinctly bordered milky-white patches can develop anywhere on the body, and commonly occur on the face, neck, hands, groin and legs. Both sides of the body are frequently affected. No one knows the precise cause of vitiligo. No one knows why the pigmented cells (called melanocytes) disappear. Researchers believe malfunctions in the nervous system or the immune system may injure or destroy the melanocytes. Since vitiligo can be inherited, there is also a genetic element to the disease. According to the National Vitiligo Foundation , many people report pigment loss shortly after trauma or injury to the skin or an emotionally stressful event. Early graying of the hair is sometimes associated with vitiligo. It is impossible to predict the course of vitiligo; each case is unique. The condition often begins with a rapid loss of pigment, which may be followed by a lengthy period when the skin color does not change. Later, the pigment loss may resume. Cycles of pigment loss, followed by periods of stability may repeat indefinitely. It is rare for those with vitiligo to regain skin color spontaneously. Vitiligo affects at least 1% of the population. Nearly half of the people who develop the skin disorder experience some pigment loss before the age of 20, and one-third of all patients have other family members with the condition. Most vitiligo sufferers are in good health, but some patients also have altered thyroid function, pernicious anemia (a vitamin B12 deficiency), Addison's disease (decreased adrenal function), alopecia areata (round patches of hair loss) or uveitis (inflammation of the eyes.)

My Account Vitiligo "I have suffered with vitiligo for several years. Every doctor I visited essentially said that there wasn't much that could be done. I was 'surfing the internet' and came across your website. The vitiligo page looked very interesting so I made an appointment for a consultation. You were informative and honest, indicating that, using a combination of narrow-band UVB phototherapy and other topical treatments, about 75% of patients see improvement. Well, I was in the lucky group who improved! After just 12 light treatments I started seeing color return and after 38 treatments, my condition had almost completely resolved! It's like a mini-miracle! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Crutchfield". - Donna P. St. Paul. Charles E. Crutchfield III, M.D. is a graduate of the Mayo Clinic Medical School. Dr. Crutchfield is a Board Certified Dermatologist and Clinical Associate Professor of Dermatology at the University of Minnesota Medical School .
