Among the 460 patients studied, 243 (52.8%) were female, with the majority (28.9%) aged between 25 and 34 years. The overall prevalence of vitiligo was found to be 7.4% (34 patients). Significant predictors of vitiligo included rural residence (AOR: 3.18; 95% CI: 1.10-9.18), family history of vitiligo (AOR: 2.20; 95% CI: 2.16-4.76), and aggravating factors such as trauma (AOR: 1.08; 95% CI: 1.01-2.08). The highest prevalence was observed in the 14-24 age group. These findings suggest the importance of awareness campaigns focusing on the causes, symptoms, and treatments of vitiligo, particularly among young adults in rural areas.
