Skipping treatments
While vitiligo treatment does not cure the disease, it does ease the appearance of it. There are several treatment options for vitiligo, but none of the options are specifically for the disease, rather treatments for other skin conditions that happen to work on vitiligo.
Skipping your vitiligo treatments will not “hurt” you in any way, but it will cause your skin to immediately start losing pigmentation again. Vitiligo treatments are designed to halt the disease at its current state, to prevent it from worsening. When you miss a treatment, you allow the disease to essentially restart and it often comes back with a vengeance.

Foods to avoid:

Sun damage
Vitiligo leads to pale skin that is sensitive to the sun’s harmful rays. Regardless of the severity of the disease and the stage that it’s in, those with Vitiligo need to wear sunscreen at all times. Yes, even if it isn’t a sunny day. It’s recommended that people with this disease use at least 50 SPF daily to protect against the sun’s rays.
Using conventional treatment methods
The reason for this final point is simple, there aren’t any guaranteed conventional treatment methods for treating vitiligo. It’s best to use natural methods of treatment or treatment for vitiligo or methods that are a bit obscure but have proven themselves.
Vitiligo is an unfortunate autoimmune disease that affects a wide number of people around the world. It leads to depigmented skin that is sensitive to sun rays and is permanent. You can help decrease the effects of Vitiligo simply by adding in foods that benefit the skin, engaging in unconventional treatment methods, and consulting your doctor about other options you have.
