Who Is Affected by Vitiligo?
Type:Uv phototherapy Time:2016-07-27 10:16:29In the United States, 1 to 2 million people have the disorder. Most people with vitiligo develop it before their 40th birthday. The disorder affects all races and both sexes equally.
People with certain autoimmune diseases (such as hyperthyroidism) are more likely to get vitiligo than people who don¡¯t have any autoimmune diseases. Scientists do not know why vitiligo is connected with these diseases. However, most people with vitiligo have no other autoimmune disease.
Vitiligo may also run in families. Children whose parents have the disorder are more likely to develop vitiligo. However, most children will not get vitiligo even if a parent has it.
