Vitiligo is not contagious: Dermatologist urges people to look beyond the skin this World Vitiligo Day

 Vitiligo is more than just skin deep, often causing significant psychological distress and social stigma. This autoimmune condition, where pigment-producing cells are attacked, isn’t contagious and has no single cause. While a permanent cure remains elusive, early and personalized dermatological treatments offer hope. World Vitiligo Day urges us to focus on empathy, inclusion, and proper care, rather than just the visible appearance of the condition. Vitiligo is more than just skin deep, often causing significant psychological distress and social stigma.
