Premature graying or whitening of hair due to malfunction of melanin-producing cells is another one of the major symptoms of vitiligo. As melanin pigment is not only responsible for skin tone but also the hair tone, the lack of melanin can consequently cause premature grey or white hair on your beard, eyebrows, scalp, and eyelashes.

There is a loss of color in the body tissues that line the genitals, mouth, and nose known as mucous membranes.
