Depigmentacija kože također poznata pod imenom bolest bijelih mrlja. Kožna bolest uzrokovana je uništenjem melanocita u epidermisu. Vitiligo se manifestira nestajanjem pigmenta na određenim dijelovima kože, uglavnom licu, prstima i nogama. Osim bijelih mrlja, nema drugih simptoma poput svrbeža ili peckanja. Stres, opekline mogle bi izazivati ovu kožnu bolest. Nasreću, vitiligo nije opasan po zdravlje.

Isti je broj oboljelih oba spola, a s ovom kožnom bolešću bori se otprilike 2% europske populacije. Nagađa se da je bolest nasljedna, naime čak u 30% slučaja osobe koje dobivaju ovu bolest krvno su povezane. Lijek za vitiligo ne postoji, no ponekad se bolest sama od sebe djelomično ili potpuno povuče sama od sebe.
Vitiligo dobiva na popularnosti za vrijeme ljetnih mjeseci kada zbog izlaganja suncu između kože na kojoj vlada vitiligo u usporedbi s kožom na kojoj ga nema postoji najveća razlika. Područja koja su zaražena vitiligom ne mogu potamniti na suncu, štoviše trebalo bi izbjegavati izlaganje suncu te na tim područjima koristiti kreme sa najvećim zaštitnim faktorom. Jedna od najpoznatijih osoba današnjice koja je patila od ove kožne bolesti – Michael Jackson.
