Biggest Reasons Behind the discoloration of skin
The vitiligo is a skin discoloration disorder that affects both genders with no age and race discrimination. Most people get involved in this disease after the age of 35 to 40. The disease is characterized by the absence of melanin cells in skin.

Melanin cells are those special cells that protect skin from sun & its ultraviolet rays but also produce yellow, black, brown and reddish pigments in skin. These pigments cells are the natural coloration determent cells. In easy words pigment cells are determines skin natural coloration and if their productivity becomes less in skin then skin changes its coloration.
Following are some basic biggest reasons behind the discoloration of skin.
Heredity:
