Skin is the largest organ of the human body. Throughout a person's lifetime, the skin undergoes various changes, some are affected by external conditions like UV rays, pollution, smoke, etc., and results in natural changes like ageing and skin discolouration. Others are a result of internal conditions and are often difficult to treat or not treatable at all. One such skin condition is called vitiligo. In simple terms, it is a disease that causes the loss of colour from the skin in patches. It is a common condition and there are 1 million cases reported in India per year.
