Are all white patches due to Vitiligo?

Not all white patches on the skin are vitiligo. While vitiligo is an autoimmune condition where the skin loses its pigment cells, similar-looking patches can also be caused by other common conditions. * 𝗧𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿 – A mild fungal infection that can cause lighter or darker spots on the skin, often on the chest or back. * 𝗣𝗶𝘁𝘆𝗿𝗶𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗯𝗮 – A harmless skin condition mostly seen in children, causing pale, scaly patches on the face. * 𝗦𝘂𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗵𝘆𝗽𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – After a skin injury or sunburn, the skin can lose pigment temporarily. These conditions may look alike but require different treatments. If you notice any white or pale patches on your skin, see a dermatologist for the right diagnosis and treatment. Early consultation helps prevent worsening and ensures the right care for your skin. #SkinHealth #WhitePatches #VitiligoAwareness #TineaVersicolor #PityriasisAlba #SunDamage #DermatologyTips
