The melanocytes in the epidermis progressively destruct leading to patches of white skin. These cells contain melanin the colouring agent of the skin. Although vitiligo is not a painful condition, there is a lot of stigma attached due to the weird looks. This in turn adversely affects the quality of life of the person suffering from the disease and the patients often suffer from emotional distress and low self-esteem.
