Pepper 'to treat pigment disease'
Vitiligo

Vitiligo is relatively common
Black pepper could provide a new treatment for the skin disease vitiligo, research suggests.

Vitiligo is a condition in which areas of skin lose their normal pigment and become white.

Researchers discovered that piperine - the compound that gives black pepper its spicy, pungent flavour - can stimulate pigmentation in the skin.
