Vitiligo

Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a non-contagious disease in which the loss of the natural pigmentation of the skin occurs. Pathologically, vitiligo is characterized by the reduction in the number or function of melanocytes, cells located in the epidermis responsible for the production of cutaneous pigment - melanin. The disease can occur at any age, being more common in two age groups: 10 to 15 years and 20 to 40 years. However, physical, emotional, and anxiety stress are common factors in triggering or worsening the disease. This depigmentation usually occurs in the form of white spots of various sizes and with focal or diffuse destruction. It can occur in any segment of the skin, including the retina. The most common sites are the face, hands and genitals. The hairs located on the vitiligo spots become whitish. The affected area is very sensitive to the sun, and serious burns can occur if exposed to the sun without protector, giving a risk for the development of skin cancer. Vitiligo é uma doença não-contagiosa em que ocorre a perda da pigmentação natural da pele. Patologicamente, o vitiligo caracteriza-se pela redução no número ou função dos melanócitos, células localizadas na epiderme responsáveis pela produção do pigmento cutâneo — a melanina. A doença pode surgir em qualquer idade, sendo mais comum em duas faixas etárias: 10 a 15 anos e 20 a 40 anos. Contudo, estresse físico, emocional, e ansiedade são fatores comuns no desencadeamento ou agravamento da doença. Essa despigmentação ocorre geralmente em forma de manchas brancas de diversos tamanhos e com destruição focal ou difusa. Pode ocorrer em qualquer segmento da pele, inclusive na retina. Os locais mais comuns são a face, mãos e genitais. Os pêlos localizados nas manchas de vitiligo se tornam esbranquiçados. O local atingido fica bastante sensível ao sol, podendo ocorrer sérias queimaduras caso exposto ao sol sem protetor, conferindo um risco para o desenvolvimento de câncer de pele.
