Vitiligo Tracker: Monitor Skin Depigmentation & Repigmentation

Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin condition where the body attacks pigment-producing cells, causing white patches to appear on the skin that can spread unpredictably over time, affecting approximately 1-2% of the global population or millions of people worldwide. Despite how common vitiligo is, there are no good vitiligo-specific tracking apps available to help people monitor where new patches appear, document the rate of spread, or track repigmentation progress when undergoing treatments like light therapy, topical medications, or lifestyle changes. People with vitiligo often take photos with their phones to show their doctors, but without a systematic way to organize these images, compare changes over time, or log treatment details, it's difficult to assess what's working and what isn't.

A dedicated vitiligo tracking app would serve a large, underserved market of people actively seeking better ways to manage their condition and communicate with their dermatologists about treatment effectiveness.

This represents a strong business opportunity because the vitiligo community is well-connected through social media and support groups, making it relatively easy to reach potential users, and many are already spending money on various treatments and would value a tool that helps them get better results.
