Causes of Vitiligo (Cont.)

 
Family History
Vitiligo may also be hereditary, meaning it can 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, and most people with vitiligo do not have a family history of the disorder.
