10 Causes of Vitiligo
Cause #10: Alopecia
Alopecia areata, or simply alopecia, is another autoimmune disease. One of the most common symptoms of this condition is hair loss in small patches throughout the body. This is similar to vitiligo in the sense that vitiligo generally occurs, at least at first, in small areas on the body.
The link between the two conditions is not yet clear, but researchers believe that there is a possibility that the two diseases can contribute to each other.
