Vitiligo or Leukoderma is a skin disease characterized by the loss of the melanic pigment producing cells on the skin, that is the loss of melanocytes. Therefore, the patient has acromic areas or white spots where the absence of these cells is noticed on practicing a biopsy. The patient progressively loses the skin color and smooth white patches appear on the face, extremities and genital region. Most of the persons show first depigmentation in hands and later on the face that grow slowly and expand throughout the body. The person looks like an albin: absence of pigment on the body skin, eyebrows, eyelashes and hair. The disease is located only on the skin, due to the absence of a cell: the melanocyte, the rest of cells that conform skin do not disappear or alter, only the cell that produces the pigment and since the pigment is the one that stains the skin, there is no color.

Vitiligo occurs when the body is triggered to look at melanocytes, cells which give color to the skin, as foreign or abnormal. With vitiligo, the body's own immune system starts attacking those cells, which is why it's considered an autoimmune disease. Genome-wide association analyses carried out in the USA identify 13 new susceptibility loci for generalized vitiligo. Most vitiligo susceptibility loci encode immunoregulatory proteins or melanocyte components that likely mediate immune targeting and the relationships among vitiligo, melanoma, and eye, skin and hair coloration.

Many treatments are available to help restore skin color or even out skin tone. Traditional treatments include phototherapy, requiring different types of machines to shine ultraviolet light on the whole body, localized areas, or the hands and feet. Some clinics also use excimer laser to treat smaller lesions. Results vary and are unpredictable. Some treatments have serious side effects. So your doctor may suggest that you first try improving the appearance of your skin by applying self-tanning products or makeup.

If you and your doctor decide to treat your condition with oxsoralen (melanocyl), psoralen, topical corticosteroids, combined medication and light therapy or grafting surgery to return color to your skin, the process may take many months to judge its effectiveness. And you may have to try more than one approach before you find the treatment that works best for you.

Because of US estrangement from Cuba, most vitiligo patients may be unaware that its biotech industry is among the most advanced in the global world. One of its most prominent R+D breakthrough is a medication called Melagenina Plus, which has already CURED millions vitiligo patients in 158 countries.

WHETHER unsightly marks or larger vitiligo areas are your concern, concealers are a true beauty hero when it comes to hiding all manner of imperfections. However simple cover or foundation make up you buy at the local pharmacy or big box store isn't going to work, so don't waste your time and money buying these products with the idea that they will. Concealers from illuminating formulas designed to cover a spot or two, like that unwanted zit, won't work either to cover larger problem areas of the skin. Are there heavy-duty concealers manufacturers beyond five big names in vitiligo cosmetics?

Yes, there are. Most products known as concealers are in fact Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) based sunless tanning or self-tanning lotions that contain this FDA approved color additive that, when applied to the skin, imparts a brownish color similar to a sun tan. Commercial preparations typically contain between 3 and 5 percent DHA, a sugar molecule that bronzes the very top layer of the skin. The browning effect occurs within a few hours. The effect is temporary — the color fades in 7-10 days as the skin naturally sloughs off.
