Vitiligo is a non infectious disease. So it can not be stopped as such with any therapy. Response of disease varies a lot. There are not special clinical features. Vitiligo can cause severe psychological disturbance for patients, if there is face involvement. The disease more noticeable on dark skin. The course of disease is very unpredictable some people will have static condition of disease for many years but in other people it can speared rapidly in cases, the white patches can have spontaneous repigmantation. This is very rare that Vitiligo reserves completely without any treatment.

Causes
We don’t know why Vitiligo is happening?
We know milanocytes are not properly functioning, although some of them survive both in skin and have follows in white patches. We do not know exact cause of this problem. Many theories exist, to explain damage and loss of melanin pigment, the most popular is autoimmune theory which means our bodys own immune system is having antibodies against pigment cells.
Another theory tells us that genes play an important role in Vitiligo. It has been noticed in people with autoimmune diseases like thyroid disease. Also in people who have family members that suffered from Vitiligo. This theory also further strengthens the autoimmune theory.
