How do u know when u have vitiligo?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pigment loss: When the skin pigment is lost from your skin surface and the area turns white, it is called vitiligo. The causes can be many and it may also be a hint that you may have an autoimmune disease(thyroid etc). However most vitiligo cases are mainly cosmetic.
