Is there a link between radiation and vitiligo?

I have heard there is a link between vitiligo and radiation...I haven't researched it...has anyone else heard that? Just curious! I am an x-ray tech (for 19 years now, 21 years if you count school) so it's very interesting!!!! I use to work with kids the first half of my career, therefore I got exposed a lot!!!!!

  • Yes all type of radiations can create oxdetve stress which leads to inflamation...Not only x-ray but olso too much use of Mobiletelefon ,micro wave,,, (cover your food or try to avoid microwave)

    There is no evidence that it is trigger for vitiligo but there are thories about oxdetive stress,
