It is also called leukoderma, it is a skin condition characterized by white patches surrounded by dark edges. The spots can be few or many, they can be small or cover the whole body. They usually appear on both sides of the body in approximately the same place and do not produce injuries or pruritus.These spots occur because, for some reason the cells that normally produce melanin pigment, are absent. If the affected area is the scalp, the hair grows white.
