I learned from my dermatologist that stress causes it to spread which was the case with me and it did spread fast!

The itching. My doc explained that it can itch when it’s active. Mine itches the most when I’m overtired or stressed.

For me it was how quickly it spread!

Getting a small white patch under my boob where its not exposed to the sun? that's why as mentioned in another post if I feel sweaty in any area I quickly freshen up! In my opinion I think being sweaty has something todo with vitiligo triggers.

My vitiligo symptom that surprised me the most is that mine is NOT like what most people and doctors say. Cuts and bruises don’t do anything, stress…nothing. Mine seems to do the exact opposite (or not at all), of what I’ve read…which has made me very annoyed. At least when I read something it helps me to understand what will most likely happen, but when most of that doesn’t pertain to me I’m totally stumped, annoyed and confused. I’ve gotten to a point that I just ignore is as much as possible. I have noticed two things that goes with the norm (per se), that is where I have clothing that rubs it has gotten lighter in (only) two areas. Hence my husband thinking I have a tan line…LOL!
