Looking for Vitiligo Advice and Support

it is a autoimmune disorder. So basically, for some reason your immune system thinks that your melanin( the substance in your body that produces hair and skin pigment. ) is a foreign germ and is doing its job. A.K.A your body is killing off the pigmentation in your skin. When I got diagnosed, they told me that there was no unknown treatment for it, but there is a chance that it will go away on it's own. Its different for everyone. For instance, most people's vitiligo is symmetrical. Meaning that their patches are the same on the left and right side of their bodies. Mine is not. I o ly have patches on my right side. Mine still continues to spread, but some people never have more than one or two patches. I suggest getting used to always carrying sunscreen with you. Without melanin you have very little protection against sunburn.
