Skin depigmentation

Skin depigmentation is a condition in which patches of skin lose their normal color, becoming lighter or completely white. It can appear in different forms and can develop gradually or suddenly. It is often accompanied by itching, burning, or a tingling sensation. Common types of skin depigmentation include vitiligo, post-inflammatory hypopigmentation, and tinea versicolor. Symptoms may include patches of discolored skin, white spots, or patches of pale skin that may be slightly raised.
