Absolutely. I have large patches on my lower legs/shins for about 15 years. I have taken photos of different areas over past 3 years and have a lots and lots of repigmented spots appear within these patches on my legs. No change in diet but I must say, we sold our business 2 years ago so probs less stress and I spend a lot of time all year round in shorts so as the white patches are not starved of sunlight. I found that before the spots started to repigment, that my vitiligo was dormant in summer and grew in winter so I figured maybe natural sunlight/vitamin d had something to do with it?

Hi Jeanmarie. It’s crazy... I have been seeing pigment come back within the last few months on my face. And a little bit on my arms. The only thing different I have done recently is started taking collagen powder.

The spots that came back a little disappeared again. I pretty much have no pigment left at all.

Unfortunately no. I have no pigment over about 90% of my body. Let’s just say you don’t get any whiter than me. Sheet of paper.

I have been having areas on my hands and arms start repigmenting. The only thing I have done differently is take daily vitamin B12 and biotin to help with some temporary hair loss.
