Actor Mamta Mohandas has revealed that she has been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition called vitiligo. On Sunday, she wrote in an Instagram post that she has been "losing colour". Mohandas also shared photographs of her condition on the social media website. "Dear (sun emoji), I embrace you now like I have never before. So spotted, I’m losing color…I rise even before you every morning, to see you glimmer your first ray through the haze," she wrote. Under this condition, a person's skin develops pale white patches that grow with time. It is caused by deficiency of melanin, which is responsible for the pigmentation of skin. Under this condition, the body produces antibodies that kill melanocytes.
