More than 150,000 Americans are treated for vitiligo - an autoimmune disease where the body attacks the cells that give skin its color.
Vitiligo is incurable and the causes of it are still mostly unknown, but a new topical cream was recently found to treat and reverse the effects of vitiligo.
It’s still unclear when the cream will be available to the public.
