I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Vitiligo is a long-term condition where pale white patches develop on the skin. It's caused by the lack of melanin, which is the pigment in skin. Vitiligo can affect any area of skin, but it commonly happens on the face, neck and hands, and in skin creases. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
