Pernicious Anemia
Pernicious anemia is triggered when your body fails to absorb a sufficient amount of vitamin B12. As a result, you are unable to refresh and produce enough red blood cells, which carry oxygen and nutrients to other areas. Without essential components, the skin fed with bad blood cells will change and result in vitiligo. This is a rare disease that only affects 0.1% of the world population, particularly those who are over 60 years old. In addition to vitiligo, pernicious anemia can also trigger many other complications, such as brain and nerve damage. [4]
