Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the question.

Vitiligo sounds like an accurate diagnosis. It is a discoloration of the skin caused by lack of pigment cells in small patches of the skin. This is not dangerous in any way to your health, I can assure you. Some people cover it up with makeup to blend it more evenly with the surrounding skin. But this is a benign condition.
