Myths and Facts on Vitiligo:
Myths & Facts on skin colour
Myth: Only people of mixed-race ancestry develop (Vitiligo) white patchy skin.
Fact: People of all ethnic backgrounds develop Vitiligo. Vitiligo occurs as the result of damaged or destroyed melanocytes. In turn the melanocytes stop producing melanin. Melanin gives skin its natural colour tone.

Myths & Facts on diseases
Myth: Vitiligo can result in more serious skin diseases such as leprosy, and albinism.
Fact: Vitiligo is a separate condition on its own. Leprosy also appears as faded patches of skin. As a result people may think they have Leprosy. However Leprosy is an infection as opposed to Vitiligo which is not infectious. Slow-growing bacteria is the cause of this infection. Leprosy affects the nerves and left untreated can result in crippling of hands and feet, paralysis, and blindness. Nowadays an early diagnosis will ensure the successful treatment of Leprosy. Albinism is purely an hereditary condition. Both parents must give the albinism gene to a child for them to develop albinism. Albinism is a full and complete lack of melanin in the skin.
