Vitiligo, also is called the white eclipse disease, is the familiar disease of the skin section, it is the phenomenon that the partial pigment disappears from the skin, and produces the white spot, then the patches gradually diffuse and spread.

Vitiligo is depigmentation, so the skin will become lighter not black

Vitiligo is a relatively common, acquired loss of pigmentation of the skin, affecting 1% to 2% of the population.  Destruction of melanocytes, or pigment cells, occurs and the skin becomes white.  The most common sites of pigment loss are body folds (like the groin or armpits), around body openings, and exposed areas like the face or hands.  It can also develop at sites of injury: cuts, scrapes, and burns.super care products.
