  1. CAUSES OF VITILIGO

  2. Causes of Vitiligo Before we discuss the early signs and symptoms, let us understand the Vitiligo causes first. In hindsight, we know that permanent damage to the melanin-producing cells leads to the onset of vitiligo. But is that all? Surprisingly no. Multiple factors actively contribute to the onset and progress of the disease.

  3. 1. Autoimmune disorder – This happens when the body’s immune system mistakes the healthy melanin-producing cells (melanocytes) as foreign bodies, attacking and damaging them in the process. In the long run, the immune system produces antibodies against these melanocytes, killing them in the process and forming white or light-colored patches on the body. Genetic issues – Studies indicate that our bodies have 30+ genes, which increase our risk of vitiligo. So, any kind of prevalent genetic mutation in one of these 30 genes can result in vitiligo in the patient. Stress – Stress that is induced after a severe injury is another potential factor that enhances the risks of vitiligo in patients. 2. 3.
