What Other Conditions Did You Get After Getting Vitiligo?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
San Carlos, CA

I’m wondering what other conditions people got after being diagnosed with vitiligo. Or before for that matter. I’ve seen some discussions of psoriasis. What other conditions did you get? Did they come before or after the vitiligo?

Has Anyone After COVID-19 Vaccination Noticed Increase Or Flare Up In Their White Spots?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Indian, AK

I got vaccinated in May 2021 with my first dose and by the end of July 2021, I noticed a sudden flare up and rapid progression.
I don't know if it is because of the vaccine because I was on antibiotics for a month in June.
This also raises another question, has anyone noticed increase in their vitiligo post/during the use of antibiotics?

Thank you all in advance.

Vallejo, CA

I’ve had vitiligo for 51 years and my skin is all white. Now I’m starting to get brown spots on my face and arms. I went to the dermatologist and she said it was my brown skin coming back! 😳 Wow!
