10 Causes of Vitiligo
Cause #4: Chemical Exposure
There are so many problems that can arise from chemical exposure that there’s no sense in listing them all. So many of the radioactive, industrial compounds that we use can be disastrous if they come into contact with the skin.
Scientists have even begun to see a connection between radiation poisoning and vitiligo. This doesn’t just mean radiation from nuclear explosions, either. Radiation poisoning can occur from extreme doses of microwave energy and even from cell phones. Not to mention that if you work in any area that processes nuclear or radioactive waste, you’re much more likely to develop symptoms of radiation poisoning. Some patients have reported that they developed vitiligo after being exposed to dangerous chemicals.
