Vitiligo Vs Birthmark

The typical vitiligo is easy to diagnose, the patches taking off by halves, the damage of cloudy edge during the early period must differentiate with other disease such as birthmark (Lerner & Nordlund, 1978, pp.1183-1186). It is a brand of skin present at birth. Birthmarks include brown spots with milk, moles, and mongolian spots. The birthmarks can also be red. Birthmarks are alternatively called as congenital nevus, lunar, nevus sebaceous, brown spots with milk, nevi and Nevo follicle. There are two kinds of birthmarks that are as under:
