Vitiligo

At Cleo Clinical Care, we offer advanced diagnosis and treatment options for Vitiligo—a skin condition that causes loss of pigmentation in patches due to inactive or damaged melanin-producing cells (melanocytes). These white patches can appear on any part of the body, including the face, hands, arms, legs, and even the scalp, affecting both appearance and self-confidence.

What Is Vitiligo?

Melanin is the pigment responsible for your skin, hair, and eye color. In people with vitiligo, the body's immune system attacks the cells that produce melanin, resulting in irregular, depigmented patches of skin. These patches may spread or change shape over time, and the condition may also cause:

  • Early greying of scalp and facial hair
  • Sensitivity to sunlight in depigmented areas
  • Changes in the retina or inner ear in rare cases

Causes & Triggers of Vitiligo

The exact cause of vitiligo is not always clear, but common contributing factors include:

  • Autoimmune response (the immune system attacking melanocytes)
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Skin trauma or injury (Koebner phenomenon)
  • Stress or emotional strain
  • Hormonal imbalances

At Cleo, we conduct a thorough patient history review and skin analysis to identify potential causes and personalize your treatment.
