To this day, we do not yet fully understand the exact causes of vitiligo. What is known is that vitiligo is a functional disorder resulting in the loss of functional melanocytes, which can be triggered by multiple factors. Identified causes include genetics, autoimmune responses, oxidative stress, the generation of inflammatory mediators, and melanocyte detachment mechanisms. Both innate and acquired triggers can be involved, or they may coexist.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
