10 Causes of Vitiligo
Cause #5: Stress
By now, it’s no secret that there are a huge number of physical problems that can emerge as a result of stress. Minor problems, like digestive upset and headaches, are quite common. More serious problems, like chronic depression or heart problems, can also occur as a result of chronic stress.
Another thing that can emerge as a result of extreme stress is vitiligo, though this is rare. This is, in part, because high levels of stress compromise the immune system. We have already mentioned that immune problems can contribute to vitiligo, so keeping your stress levels minimized is important for helping to prevent vitiligo.
