  3. 25 June 25 June: World Vitiligo Day
    World Vitiligo Day, observed on June 25, raises awareness of vitiligo and celebrates the resilience of nearly 100 million people worldwide living with this autoimmune skin condition. Vitiligo causes a loss of skin pigment, resulting in white patches that affect about 1% of the global population and can appear at any stage of life, at any age, and in people of all skin colors.

    Although it is not contagious or painful, it can have a significant psychological and social impact due to stigma and discrimination. While there is currently no cure, treatments can help restore pigmentation, and ongoing research is improving diagnosis, care, and patient support.
