10 Main Causes of Vitiligo

Sunburn

In addition to skin cancer, the sunlight could also lead to many other changes in your epidermis. The UV rays from the sun would severely damage your skin cells and cause white patches in many parts that are directly exposed. In fact, people who do not use sun cream or wear protective clothing when working outside during the day might be at a higher risk of developing vitiligo. Though this is a harmless condition, it might lead to ugly changes in your body. If left exposed to harmful rays for a long time, you might even experience skin cancer. [9]
