1) There may be just one or a few white patches on the body. This is called focal vitiligo. 2) It may affect only one side of the body. This is termed segmental vitiligo. 3) When there are many white patches on the body, the condition is referred to as generalized vitiligo. 4) Sometimes the hair on the white patches also turns white. This is called leucotrichia. 5) In rare cases vitiligo can affect eye colour as well as the pigment in the retina.
