1 Introduction Vitiligo, a condition characterized by white patches on the skin, is an autoimmune disease [1, 2]. The localized or generalized depigmented lesions are a result of the reduction or absence of functional melanocytes in the skin and hair follicles [3]. Pathogenesis is unclear and is related to genetic and nongenetic factors [4-6]. Vitiligo is a prevalent condition that may affect various regions of the body and manifest at any age [7].
