Vitiligo develops when genetic and environmental factors contribute to the autoimmune destruction of melanocytes(source).
This means that it’s not something you just *happen* to get…like the flu or something.
Instead, it’s something you have a genetic predisposition for, and it’s brought to life by a combination of factors.
Vitiligo predispositions are largely triggered, maintained, and kept under control by environmental factors, namely, your diet, lifestyle, and how much stress you experience
