Types of Vitiligo
- Generalized : This is the most common type of vitiligo that causes macules to appear in various places on your body.
- Segmental : This type only affects one side of your body or one area, such as your hands or face.
- Mucosal : Mucosal vitiligo affects mucous membranes of your mouth and/or genitals.
- Focal : Focal vitiligo is a rare type where the macules develop in a small area and don’t spread in a certain pattern within one to two years.
- Trichome : This type causes a bullseye with a white or colorless center, then an area of lighter pigmentation, and an area of your natural skin tone.
- Universal : This rare type of vitiligo causes more than 80% of your skin to not have pigment.
