Vitiligo

Living with vitiligo can be a lot to navigate, both emotionally and physically. Our skilled dermatologists are here to help you understand your skin and find a treatment path that works for you.

Schedule Online
AAD - Vitiligo- Banner copy

What Is Vitiligo?

Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks melanocytes, which are the cells responsible for producing pigment. When these cells are damaged or destroyed, patches of skin, hair, and even the inside of the mouth can lose their color. The result is a distinctive pattern of pale or white patches that can appear anywhere on the body.

Vitiligo affects people of all skin tones and ages, though it is often more visible on darker skin. While it isn't contagious or painful, it can be emotionally impactful and may affect a person's confidence and self-image. Many patients live with vitiligo for years before seeking treatment, but getting a proper diagnosis and care plan can make a meaningful difference.

There is currently no cure for vitiligo, but effective treatments are available that can slow its progression, restore color to affected areas, and help you feel more comfortable in your skin. Our dermatologists take a personalized approach to vitiligo care, working with each patient to find the right combination of therapies for their skin, lifestyle, and goals.

Causes
Autoimmune Response
The immune system attacks and destroys melanocytes.
Genetic Predisposition
A family history of vitiligo raises your risk.
Triggering Events
Sunburn, stress, or skin trauma can activate onset.
Neurochemical Factors
Nerve endings may release substances harmful to pigment cells.
Other Autoimmune Conditions
Thyroid disease and type 1 diabetes are associated conditions.
Symptoms
Patchy Skin Discoloration
Flat, pale, or white patches appear on sun-exposed areas first.
Premature Whitening
Hair on the scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, or beard may turn white.
Loss of Color Inside the Mouth
Mucous membranes and the lining of the nose can be affected.
Color Changes Around the Eyes
The tissue inside or around the eyes may lose pigment.
Symmetrical Pattern
Patches often appear in similar locations on both sides of the body.
TREATMENT OPTIONS

How Is Vitiligo Treated?

Vitiligo treatment focuses on slowing the spread of patches, restoring pigment where possible, and supporting your overall skin health. Your provider will build a plan based on how much of your skin is affected, your skin type, and your personal goals.

Phototherapy-2 copy

Phototherapy (NB-UVB)

Narrowband UVB light therapy is one of the most effective treatments, stimulating melanocytes and slowing immune activity in affected areas.
Topical Corticosteroids copy

Topical Corticosteroids

Prescription creams applied to patches help reduce inflammation and can restore pigment, particularly when vitiligo is caught early.
Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors copy

Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors

Non-steroidal creams that modulate the immune response and are commonly used on sensitive areas like the face and neck.
Opzelura (ruxolitinib) copy

Opzelura (ruxolitinib)

An FDA-approved topical JAK inhibitor specifically indicated for nonsegmental vitiligo in patients 12 and older.
Laser Therapy-3 copy

XTRAC Excimer Laser

A targeted light treatment that delivers UVB energy precisely to affected patches, ideal for localized vitiligo.
Depigmentation Therapy copy

Depigmentation Therapy

For patients with widespread vitiligo who prefer a uniform skin tone, depigmentation of remaining pigmented skin is an option.

Great experience today! Mary at the desk was super nice and professional. I didn’t have to wait in the lobby at all to be seen at all for my appointment time. Once in the exam room, the medical assistant was nice and professional. I waited only a minute after she left and APRN Sanjani Patel was already coming in to see me. I feel like she was very thorough looking at all of my moles (I have a lot) and she recommended me some prescription wipes for my back acne. The office is also stocked with nutrafol supplements, skin ceutical products, and Alastin products which is great because I was able to pick up something I was running low on. I will definitely be returning to this location!

A fantastic practice. All of my concerns (four separate issues and a tissue biopsy) were addressed in one visit. I’ve already recommended them to two family members. So pleased to find a great dermatologist so close to home.

Here’s a revised version: I had an excellent experience at Academic Alliance in Dermatology West Largo. I was there today to have my second squamous cell carcinoma removed from my scalp, as well as another one removed from my leg. The building is brand new, exceptionally clean, and very welcoming. Everyone on the staff was professional, friendly, and genuinely caring from the moment I arrived. The doctors and staff took the time to answer my questions, explain the procedures, and make me feel comfortable throughout my visit. Their attention to detail and commitment to patient care were outstanding. I highly recommend Academic Alliance in Dermatology West Largo to anyone looking for high-quality dermatology care. Thank you to the entire team for making what could have been a stressful day such a positive experience.

In my humble opinion, the overall experience at this clinic was superb. The whole staff had a great balance of being personal & professional throughout the appt. The front desk staff made you feel welcome & assisted us through the checking process. The nurse & PA Seely were knowledgeable & friendly. They took their time to address my son’s skin issues without rushing the process. Their work ethics are definitely one to emulate. Highly recommend this clinic.

Laren and her staff are wonderful—warm, welcoming, and very laid back, which immediately puts you at ease. I came in for a three-month follow-up and also brought up a new concern. They didn’t hesitate for a moment to address it and made sure all my needs were taken care of. Laren is both professional and down-to-earth. Her relaxed approach makes the visit feel more like catching up with someone who truly cares rather than a typical doctor’s appointment—which I really appreciate. Highly recommend!

ADDRESSING TOP VITILIGO CONCERNS

Your Vitiligo Questions, Answered

No. Vitiligo is not contagious and cannot be spread through skin contact or any other means. It is an autoimmune condition that develops from within.

Vitiligo occurs when the immune system destroys melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin pigment. Genetics, autoimmune factors, and environmental triggers all appear to play a role.

There is currently no cure for vitiligo, but effective treatments can slow its progression and restore pigment to affected areas. Many patients see significant improvement with the right care plan.

The progression of vitiligo varies from person to person. Some patients experience gradual spreading over time, while others see little change. Early treatment may help slow progression.

Vitiligo affects people of all skin tones, but it is often more visible in individuals with darker complexions. It is equally common across all racial and ethnic groups.

Treatment depends on the extent of your vitiligo, your skin type, and your personal goals. Your dermatologist will evaluate your skin during a consultation and recommend a personalized care plan.

Results vary based on the treatment and the individual. Phototherapy, for example, often requires multiple sessions over several months before pigment restoration is visible. Your provider will set realistic expectations during your appointment.
