What is Vitiligo?

If you do not understand what vitiligo is, no worries.

VOFY can now try to explain it to you. Our body is made up of different cells. The cells in your body have different jobs. Some cells help you from getting sick and other cells help create the color of your skin. Sometimes, not all your cells work the way they should. Something might go wrong and that is completely okay.

For vitiligo, the cells that are supposed to make your skin color are not working correctly. When your cells don't work right, they can cause different things to happen. When your cells don't create the color of your skin, it can result in patches! Do not be afraid of vitiligo. It's something that so many people have in this world!
