10 Main Causes of Vitiligo

Stress

It can be surprising, but stress can be a possible cause of vitiligo. Tension and pressure from your daily work or study can be mental toxins, which affect the normal operation of your body. When they accumulate to an excessive level, it might disrupt the immune system in many ways. As a result, the body might mistakenly damage some skin cells in a few areas and lead to white patches in vitiligo. That’s why it is important to alleviate stress and try to relax. You can meditate, practice yoga, do deep breathing exercises, and many other techniques to relieve tension in your mind. [8]
