It is essential to understand the two major types of vitiligo, which are
Segment-free vitiligo
Non-segmental vitiligo is the most prevalent form of vitiligo, which typically manifests as pale skin regions on both sides of the body. The initial symptoms may appear on the fingertips, wrists, feet, hands, or in the vicinity of the eyes or jaws. Nonsegmental vitiligo is also referred to as bilateral or generalized vitiligo. There are additional subtypes of vitiligo based on how the skin disorder manifests. The following are subtypes of nonsegmental vitiligo:
Mouth vitiligo
It affects the nasal, genital, and oral mucous membranes.
Acrofacial Vulgarism
Acrofacial vitiligo is characterized by the development of white regions on the hands, feet, and face.
Focused or localized vitiligo
It is limited to a few areas of the body.
Worldwide vitiligo
Universal vitiligo appears to influence between 80 and 90 percent of an individual’s skin.
Isolated vitiligo
Segmental vitiligo typically causes white patches to appear on only one side of the body, such as on one limb or arm. In addition, hair loss is common in segmental vitiligo. Beginning in childhood, segmental vitiligo may spread swiftly for six months to two years. (3)
