Key points

Uniformly white patches surrounded by normal skin, not painful and usually not itchy: this is the most usual presentation of vitiligo.

Vitiligo is usually discovered during spring and summer months in sun-exposed areas of skin. The resulting white patches do not pigment after sun exposure and will have a tendency to sunburn easily.

The dermatologist should always make a full body examination for vitiligo.

A hand device (Wood��s lamp) emitting ultraviolet light is usually used to increase the visibility of white patches: this can be enough for a correct clinical diagnosis.
