Leucoderma

Leucoderma, also known as vitiligo, is a condition where the skin loses its pigment cells (melanocytes). This results in white patches of skin appearing on various parts of the body. The cause of vitiligo is not fully understood, but it is believed to be an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the melanocytes.
