This study provides valuable insights into public awareness and perceptions of Vitiligo in Egypt and Palestine. A significant proportion of the participants demonstrated adequate awareness of the condition; however, favorable opinions appeared less prevalent. Notable discrepancies were observed among the various demographic characteristics, highlighting the need for targeted initiatives, such as media campaigns and school-based education, aimed at addressing information gaps and improving public perception.
