Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Vitiligo is a condition that causes the skin to lose its color, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD).
Detailed explanation-2: -Vitiligo is a common, but under-recognized, autoimmune disease of the skin in which melanocytes are specifically targeted and destroyed by skin-infiltrating, autoreactive CD8+ T cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Melanin is a natural pigment that gives your skin its color. It’s produced in cells called melanocytes. Vitiligo occurs when pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) die or stop producing melanin-the pigment that gives your skin, hair and eyes color. The involved patches of skin become lighter or white.
