Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Destruction of melanocytes is a characteristic feature of vitiligo, a skin condition in which white patches appear on the skin due to the loss of melanocytes. Melanocytes are the cells that produce the pigment melanin, which gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes. Allergic reactions, rheumatoid arthritis, and impetigo do not typically involve the destruction of melanocytes.
