What are the common causes of depigmented patches?
Several conditions can lead to the development of depigmented patches, including:
Vitiligo: An autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin pigmentation. Pityriasis Alba: A common skin condition in children characterized by pale, scaly patches. Tinea Versicolor: A fungal infection that can cause light or dark patches on the skin. Post-inflammatory hypopigmentation: Occurs after skin inflammation or injury, leading to lighter patches. Albinism: A genetic condition resulting in little or no production of melanin.
