What is the main cause of vitiligo?
There is still much unknown about the root cause of this condition but it is generally believed to be an autoimmune disorder. This means that the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues. In the case of vitiligo, it is thought that the immune system may attack the melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) in the skin. There is still much research to be done in this area to determine the root cause of vitiligo.There are other factors that may contribute to the development of vitiligo, including:
-Heredity: If someone in your family has vitiligo, you are more likely to develop it too.
-Exposure to sun and UV radiation: This can damage the melanocytes and make you more susceptible to developing vitiligo.
-Stress: Emotional stress can trigger vitiligo in some people.
-Sunscreen: People that use high levels of sunscreen or those that don’t know they have vitiligo can aggravate their symptoms.
-Injury: Any injury to the skin such as a cut, burn, insect bite can activate lesions in people with vitiligo.

The main symptom of vitiligo is the appearance of patches on the skin that have lost their pigment and color. These patches can be any size or shape, and can occur anywhere on the body. In some cases, vitiligo can cause the loss of color in hair and eyes.
Can vitamin D help with vitiligo?
One theory is that vitiligo is a disorder of the immune system, so vitamin D might be helpful. A group of researchers from King Saud University in Saudi Arabia made a study to see if people who have vitiligo would get better when they were given extra vitamin D. They found that there was no difference in how many people got better on either high or low doses of vitamin D, but it did seem to clear up some other skin conditions some people had. However, this needs to be studied more before we know for sure if this will help with vitiligo. People with vitiligo need to protect their skin from the sun. When your skin is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays, it can cause more patches of discoloured skin. Some people think UV exposure might trigger vitiligo in some people who are already at risk of getting the condition. If you do go out into the sun, it’s a good idea to use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more.
