Leukoderma

Leukoderma is a disorder of melanin pigmentation. It is a focal loss of pigment, where the pale spots (unlike vitiligo ) do not have a sharp border. It is an acquired disease - pigmented structures are destroyed after persistent skin inflammation. We observe burns, syphilis or psoriasis.
