Where does vitiligo appear on the body?
Vitiligo can develop anywhere on a person’s skin. When vitiligo begins, the patches usually appear on the :
- Face
- Arms
- Hands
- Feet
In time, the spots and patches can grow, and vitiligo can appear on other areas of a person’s body. Some people lose color in areas called mucous membranes, which includes the inside of the mouth or nose and the genitals.
Signs and symptoms of vitiligo
The most noticeable sign of vitiligo is one or more areas of lighter skin. For many people, that’s the only sign of vitiligo. However, other signs and symptoms can develop. The following explains what you may notice.
Spots and patches of lighter skin
When a person has vitiligo, cells that make pigment are damaged. Because these cells give the skin its color, spots and patches of lighter skin appear. Vitiligo can appear anywhere on a person’s skin, including the genitals.
Patches turn white
When vitiligo is actively destroying cells that give a person’s skin its color, the patches tend to be pink or tricolor (causing a zone of tan skin between a person’s natural skin color and the white vitiligo). Once vitiligo is no longer active, the patches turn completely white, as shown here.
Lighter patches inside your mouth or nose
Vitiligo can cause loss of color in the mouth, on the lips, around the mouth, around the nose, or inside the nose.
Patches and spots sunburn easily
Skin that’s lost pigment is more sensitive to sunlight, so it sunburns quickly. Sunburns can also trigger vitiligo, causing it to spread. That’s why sun protection is so important.
Patches itch
When vitiligo is actively spreading, patches may feel itchy. Otherwise, the spots and patches rarely cause discomfort.
Hair turns white or gray
Vitiligo can cause a person’s hair to lose its color. When vitiligo appears on the skin, the hair in that area can turn white, as shown in picture A. Vitiligo can also cause a person’s hair to turn prematurely gray, as shown in picture B.
Eyelash, eyebrow, or section of hair on the scalp turns white
Some people develop loss of color on part (or all) of an eyelash or eyebrow. Others see a streak of white hair on their head.
Eye color changes
If vitiligo affects the eyes, your eye color could change. This happens quickly. While rare, vitiligo can also affect a person’s eyesight.
