Dear IADVL members,
Vitiligo is an important skin disease that has a major impact on the quality of life of patients, many of whom feel distressed and stigmatised by their condition.
People with vitiligo are often mistreated, looked down or shunned from society. With ongoing research and innovation, vitiligo treatment has offered new hope in both medical and surgical approaches. Still, the delay in seeking treatment remains a major hurdle in the management. This can be overcome through ongoing initiatives to spread awareness. This is the need of the hour to make an effort to reduce the stigma associated with the disease.
