check screenshot and read about this type of skin condition below:

Vitiligo is a skin condition characterized by portions of the skin losing their pigments. It occurs when skin pigment cells die or are unable to function.

CAUSES

The cause of vitiligo is unknown but may arise from the below:

 - Certain chemical substances

-  autoimmune or genetic,

- oxidative stress on the body

- neural, or viral causes.

TYPES

It can be of two types:segmental and non-segmental vitiligo. 

Non-segmental is usually generalised or appears over a large area of the body

Segments can appear on the hands or feets and responds more to treatments such as topical steroid creams etc. 

Half of those affected show the disorder before age 20, though most develop it before age 40.

INCIDENCE

The global incidence of vitiligo is less than 1% with some populations averaging 2–3% and rarely as high as 16%.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS 

The only sign of vitiligo is the presence of pale patchy areas of depigmented skin which tend to occur on the extremities.

TREATMENT

 There is no known cure for vitiligo but many treatment options are available such as

topical steroids
Calcineurin inhibitors, and 
Phototherapy

People with this type of skin may however be found odd and different but It's just a loss of skin pigmentation. I'll say a work of art, They should be embraced and loved.
