An acquired disease of skin, in about 1% of population, wherein "milky white patches" occur on the skin. Often more than one member in a family may suffer. It may follow a serious illness, acute mental stress, some minor or repeated injury or excessive exposure to sunlight. White patches often occur in burn scars too.
Why, How, When & Where? Why? Several ingenious theories have been postulated, but none conclusively proved. Usually starts before 20 years of age, in sun exposed parts like face, back of hands etc. "Milky white" patches appear, gradually increase over several years and then stabilize. Even minor injuries in such a person may cause additional patches. Hairs in affected areas may be black or may turn white too. There is no pain, itching or other symptoms; it is purely a cosmetic problem. It is NOT A CONTAGIOUS disease; but such people are often looked down upon in society. It is often mistaken for and confused with the more dreaded Leprosy.
