Description

Vitiligo is a condition where the body’s immune system attacks pigment cells (melanocytes), causing pigment loss. It causes smooth, white skin patches around the mouth, eyes, back of hands and rarely the whole body. Immune system diseases that are associated with vitiligo include diabetes, pernicious anaemia, thyroid disease and Addison’s disease.
 

 
There are several treatments available that can help to manage the symptoms and improve the appearance of the skin.
It is important to note that treatment options for vitiligo will depend on the severity and location of the condition. You should speak with our doctor to determine which treatment option is best for you.
 
Albinism, on the other hand, is an inherited disorder caused by the absence of pigment melanin and results in no pigmentation in the skin, hair or eyes. Albinos have an abnormal gene that stops the production of melanin.
 

 
There is no cure for albinism. They have to use sunscreen at all times as they have a higher chance to get sun damage and skin cancer. They will also have problems with their eyes (eg decreased vision or abnormal eye movement) and should be seen by an ophthalmologist.
