Overview

What is Leucoderma?

Leucoderma (white patches) occurs when melanocytes - the pigment-producing cells - either stop functioning or are destroyed. This results in white or pale patches that can appear on various parts of the body such as the face, hands, arms, legs, or around body openings.
