Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune skin disease, manifested by discolored spots on the face and body. It affects about 1% of the world's population. The disease does not pose a threat to life and does not cause physical harm, but it often seriously affects the psychoemotional state of patients. The disease can develop at any age, but most often before the age of 20.
Every year, more than 15,000 patients with this diagnosis come to the country's dermatological institutions.
