13 Serious Problems That Hives Could Indicate

Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a skin disease resulting in loss of color in patches and is caused when melanin-producing cells in the hair, skin, and eyes, die off. Doctors think one of the causes may be related to an attack by the immune system on the skin’s melanocytes. As a result, these blotches can occur either localized or all over the body. Hives occur when the immune system tries to attack what it thinks is an allergen so the itchy, red condition can show up in people with vitiligo.
