Why white spots appear
Vitiligo is an invasive skin disease. It is characterized by the appearance of white spots on the human body. They can be several or they cover almost the entire surface of the body. Such changes in skin pigmentation occur due to the lack of melanin pigment. This is because skin cells in some places lose the ability to produce it. The reasons for this condition can be:

- skin trauma: thermal or chemical burns, cuts, severe bruises;
- parasitic diseases;
- metabolic disturbances, lack of vitamins and minerals;

- depression, stressful situations, overwork;
- chronic diseases of internal organs;
- allergic reaction to cosmetics or household chemicals.
