Patient's question:
Recently, while taking a shower, I noticed several white spots on my neck, about the size of beans. There might be three or four of them, and they don't itch or hurt. However, since I'm pregnant, for safety, I listened to my family's advice and went to the hospital. The result was that I was diagnosed with vitiligo, and now I'm very worried.Doctor's answer:
Hello, vitiligo is not contagious. However, it does have a certain hereditary tendency, accounting for about 10%. In addition to genetic factors, it can also be caused by infectious factors, chemical factors, psychological and neurological factors, autoimmune factors, endocrine factors, etc. It is largely related to the environment, such as lifestyle, diet, and other aspects. It is recommended to treat it first before having children to avoid passing it on to the child.
