\">\n\n<p>Vitiligo is a pigmentary disorder that causes loss of skin color or pigmentation over the face, hands, feet, and fingers due to the destruction of melanocytes. The lack of melanin pigment causes the disease. A deficiency of vitamin D is commonly observed in vitiligo patients. Smooth white patches called macules appear on various parts of the body.<br \/>Melanocytes are cells in the skin that produces melanin. During this autoimmune condition, the body\u2019s immune system destroys the melanocytes and causes a deficiency of melanin that leads to this disease condition. People with psoriasis, anemia, lupus, Addison\u2019s disease, and thyroid disease are at high risk of vitiligo.<br \/>Vitiligo isn\u2019t painful but sunburns are more likely to occur on the patches of the affected skin. Vitiligo may cause skin sensitivity and retinal abnormalities in some people.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1683109965315\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h2 class=\"rank-math-question \">What are the symptoms of Vitiligo?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Loss of skin color, premature greying of hair on the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and beard, and loss of color in the tissues of the mucus membrane in the inside of the nose and mouth are some of the symptoms of Vitiligo. The patches may appear in small areas and gradually spread over the whole body.<br \/>Sunburns on the affected patches and spots, itchiness in the patches, loss of hearing, and changes in the color of the eyes are some of the common symptoms of vitiligo.<br \/>Vitiligo is more prevalent in people with darker skin tones and it may develop at any age.

Some patients may experience gluten sensitivity for whom limitations of gluten-rich foods are advised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pears, blueberries, and certain skin-bleaching creams contain hydroquinone, a depigmenting compound that lowers the production of melanin which makes the white patches more whiter. Sour fruits like lemons, lime, gooseberries, oranges, and grapes contain ascorbic acid that lightens the skin patches and contributes to the worsening of the condition. Sour foods inhibit melanin production due to their acidic nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foods high in saturated fats such as red meats, fast foods, fried foods, butter, cookies, and pastries cause adverse reactions against vitiligo.
