Signs Of Parry-Romberg Syndrome

Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a less common skin disease. Individuals with this affliction tend to lose their skin color in increasing blotches. The rate and extent of color loss tend to be unpredictable. Any portion of the body can be affected, as can the hair and interior of the mouth. The disease occurs when melanin-producing cells cease to function or die altogether. It's possible for vitiligo to occur across all skin types and races, but it tends to be more pronounced when individuals have darker skin. It's not a contagious or life-threatening condition, but it may occur alongside Parry-Romberg syndrome. Sometimes undergoing treatment helps restore color to the skin affected, but it won't prevent a recurrence or the continued color loss. While this condition can occur at any time, it's similar to Parry-Romberg syndrome in that it typically occurs before age twenty. Different types of the disorder can cause the patches to cover a great deal of your body, only one area of the body, or just a few areas.
