Being a dermatologist, I will like to discuss few important aspects of Vitiligo, a disorder of skin pigmentation, hugely stigmatized across the whole world.

1. Vitiligo affects people of all races. However, it is more noticeable in people with dark skin.

@UnSubtleDesi 2. It is an autoimmune disorder against melanocytes leading to loss of pigmentation.

3. There is NO CONNECTION between 'diet and vitiligo'. It's a myth that vitiligo gets aggravated or caused by the food that is white in colour i.e. milk and dairy products.
