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. http://www.supercareproducts.com
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. http://www.supercareproducts.com
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. http://www.supercareproducts.com
