I came to know that my niece has white patches on her skin. I feel terrible. I started looking out for a groom for her. My cousin now reveals the truth. She is coming to US to study this fall. She’s abt 25 yrs. I need to find out if it’s a communicable disease. Any links to get more info?

There's no substitute to a visit to the doctor...and a dermatologist. Good luck and I hope it isn't anything serious.
Sometimes they appear because of iron deficiency too. Only a good doctor can explain the real cause. Get her checked ASAP.

There are many variants of the White patches you mentioned and some are active (lessen/grow over time) while some are passive. The attitudes are also different towards the victim - some are horrified, while others take them as usually as any disease. You might still find a suitable groom who doesnt mind it at all - and if he does mind, he is not fit for her in the first place. There is a strong possibility she might find her match on the campus itself, if she does not keep to herself (due to the inferiority complex developed) - someone who knows her more than her skin...In short - dont despair, theres always light at the end of the tunnel.
All the best.
Hiren.
PS: Ofcourse, dont forget the doctor to get it diagonised and treated - if possible.
Thx folks. I had a long chat with my cousin early this morning. Now she is revealing that its been there for quite some time, doctors have seen it, tried other types of treatments (ayurvedic, homeopathic). Add to that my BIL is a doctor. Owns a small clinic in Bangalore. Looks to me that they have done their part.
I am thinking to take a step back in looking out for a groom. I am not comfortable on this issue any more. In the sense, I dont want to get in the middle of this. I think let my niece complete her study in US, get a job, etc. I also suggested to my cousin that the truth need to be told upfront rather than after marriage. She tends to agree, may be she was playing it to me.
