Social Media Platforms as a Resource for Vitiligo Support.

Social media use among dermatology patients is ubiquitous, with estimates of over 80% of patients using social media to learn about their dermatologic conditions. Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease leading to depigmentation with an estimated prevalence of 0.5%–2% globally. Vitiligo has been implicated in a decreased quality of life (QoL), particularly in females, individuals with darker complexions, and those from South Asian cultures.
