Vitiligo on the scalp may affect the color of the hair (though not always), leaving white patches or streaks. Vitiligo may also be caused by stress that affects the immune system, leading the body to react and start eliminating skin pigment. In some cases, mild trauma to an area of skin seems to cause new patches - for example around the ankles (caused by friction with shoes or sneakers). The location of vitiligo affected skin changes over time, with some patches re-pigmenting and others becoming affected. Occasionally small areas may repigment as they are recolonised by melanocytes. Patches often occur symmetrically across both sides on the body. The patches may grow, shrink, or remain constant in size. Half of people with vitiligo develop patches of de-pigmented skin appearing on extremities before their 20s.
