Vitiligo is a skin disease which can cover a small or large area with visible loss of pigments due to the melanocytes (pigment cells) dying off. The details of what happens during the destruction of pigment cells are still not known. Up to 2% of the population gets vitiligo. People with vitiligo are more sensitive to the sun.
