It's World Vitiligo Day ๐ŸŽ—๐Ÿ’œ

World Vitiligo Day is observed on June 25 to raise awareness about vitiligo, a skin condition that causes loss of pigment, leading to white patches on the skin.

It also highlights the social and psychological challenges those with vitiligo face, promoting inclusivity and acceptance.

3 Underrated Facts for :
1๏ธโƒฃ Beyond skin deep โ€“ Can affect hair (turning white) and even eye/ear function in rare cases.
2๏ธโƒฃ Sun sensitivity โ€“ Patches burn easily; SPF is a must, not just cosmetic.
3๏ธโƒฃ Mental health toll โ€“ Anxiety/depression are common due to stigma, not the condition itself.

World Sickle Cell Day is observed on June 19 to raise awareness about sickle cell disease, a genetic blood disorder that affects millions worldwide. The day promotes education, support, and advocacy for better treatment and care.

What is Sickle Cell Disease?
A hereditary condition where red blood cells become rigid, sticky, and crescent (sickle) shaped due to abnormal hemoglobin. These misshapen cells block blood flow, causing pain, organ damage, and increased risk of infections.

Key Effects of Sickle Cell Disease:
Pain Crises ("Sickle Cell Crisis") โ€“ Severe pain episodes due to blocked blood vessels.
Anemia โ€“ Sickled cells die early, leading to fatigue and weakness.
Organ Damage โ€“ Repeated blockages harm the spleen, liver, kidneys, and brain.
Increased Infections โ€“ A weakened immune system raises susceptibility.
Stroke & Heart Complications โ€“ Due to impaired blood flow.

Global Impact:
Most common in Africa, India, the Middle East, and among African descendants.
Millions suffer, with many lacking access to proper treatment.
Early diagnosis, hydration, pain management, and vaccinations can improve quality of life.

3 signs you might need a blood test:
Persistent fatigue and weakness - Feeling unusually tired despite getting enough rest can indicate underlying conditions like anemia (low red blood cell count), which a complete blood count (CBC) test can help diagnose. It can also be a sign of nutritional deficiencies, such as low iron or vitamin D, or issues with your thyroid.

Unexplained weight changes - Significant and unexplained weight loss or gain can be an early symptom of a thyroid disorder, which can be identified through a blood test.

Troubling or persistent symptom - you have symptoms like persistent headaches, digestive problems, skin issues, unusual aches and pains, fever, chills, or rapid breathing, a blood test can help determine the cause.
