Welcome to the National Vitiligo Foundation Web site! This site was created to serve as a clearinghouse for information about vitiligo, for both people with vitiligo and the general public. Vitiligo is spontaneous irregular depigmentation of skin which can occur at any stage in life. Scientifically, its cause is very poorly understood. It is not contagious and is technically not a serious health problem. But people with vitiligo and their families and friends know that it can cause much suffering because of social effects of the change in appearance. Through research, the National Vitiligo Foundation hopes to find a cause, and eventually, a cure. This research is funded by donations from people like yourself. If you would like to make a contribution to help us find the cause and cure for this disease, please click on the button labeled "CONTRIBUTIONS" to the left. By bonding together, people with vitiligo and their families and friends can learn to feel better about themselves and can battle to lessen the social pain related to other people's reactions to the face of vitiligo. We'll keep you informed about the latest research and discoveries, and ways people cope with vitiligo. Use the buttons to the left to navigate the site. Please start by signing our guestbook so we can keep in touch with you!

Camp Discovery Contact Us Foundations Kids' Connection ... Skin Cancer Updates Vitiligo Vitiligo is a skin condition of white patches resulting from loss of pigment. Any part of the body may be affected. Usually both sides of the body are similarly affected by a few too many milky-white patches. Common areas of involvement are the face, lips, hands, arms, legs and genital areas. Who Gets Vitiligo Vitiligo affects one or two of every 100 people. About half the people who develop it do so before the age of 20; about one fifth have a family member with this condition. Most people with vitiligo are in good general health. What Determines Skin Color Melanin, the pigment that determines color of skin, hair, and eyes, is produced in cells called melanocytes. If these cells die or cannot form melanin, the skin becomes lighter or completely white. What Causes Vitiligo Abnormally functioning nerve cells may make toxic substances that injure melanocytes Pigment-producing cells may self-destruct. While pigment is forming, toxic byproducts could be produced and destroy melanocytes. There is a genetic defect that makes the melanocytes susceptible to injury.

Will the Depigmented Patches Spread? ... Where Can People Get More Information About Vitiligo? What Is Vitiligo? Vitiligo (vit-ill-EYE-go) is a pigmentation disorder in which melanocytes (the cells that make pigment) in the skin, the mucous membranes (tissues that line the inside of the mouth and nose and genital and rectal areas), and the retina (inner layer of the eyeball) are destroyed. As a result, white patches of skin appear on different parts of the body. The hair that grows in areas affected by vitiligo usually turns white. The cause of vitiligo is not known, but doctors and researchers have several different theories. One theory is that people develop antibodies that destroy the melanocytes in their own bodies. Another theory is that melanocytes destroy themselves. Finally, some people have reported that a single event such as sunburn or emotional distress triggered vitiligo; however, these events have not been scientifically proven to cause vitiligo.

Jag vill dela med mig av den kunskap och de erfarenheter som jag har och som jag hoppas kan vara till nytta för dig. Vitiligo och AA har flera likheter, båda tillstånden (eller sjukdomarna?) tros bero på att immunförsvaret angriper de egna cellerna och det är inte ovanligt med sköldkörtelproblem.

Det jag hade var en ovanligare form av psoriasis som inte bildar stora sjok vid leder - vilket är vanligast. Det jag fick kallas för droppformig psoriasis och yttrar sig som små prickar över hela kroppen. Tur i oturen eftersom det ser trevligare ut än vanlig psoriasis. Jag hade bara psoriasis i några månader. Det var en ovanligt stark stress som utlöste det och när allt lugnade ned sig försvann det. Har jag tur så kommer det aldrig tillbaks . . . peppar, peppar.

Patients with Vitiligo develop white spots in the skin that vary in size and location. The spots occur when pigment cells, or melanocytes, are destroyed and the pigment melanin can no longer be produced. Melanocytes normally occur throughout the skin, and in the hair follicles, mouth, eyes, and some parts of the central nervous system. In Vitiligo, pigment cells can be lost in any of these areas. Common sites of pigment loss are: Exposed areas: hands, face, upper part of the chest Around body openings: eyes, nostrils, mouth, nipples, umbilicus, genitalia Body folds: arm pits, groin Sites of injury: cuts, scrapes, burns Hair: early graying of hair of the scalp, beard or other areas Area immediately surrounding pigmented moles Choroid of the eye WHO GETS VITILIGO?
