Variations in skin colour, cultural background, access to treatment, and severity of the disease contribute to the degree to which vitiligo impacts on people's lives. While some of those with the disease manage to develop strategies to cope, others succumb to depression and despair. Far from being a mere cosmetic problem, vitiligo can sometimes ruin people's lives. © 2010 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
