Because Vitiligo only affects a very small part of the population 1.5 ~ 2.0% and it's not life threatening the medical research community does not put a medical priority on it because it's considered a cosmetic problem unlike Cancer or Aids which get the highest priorties and the most money for research any disease or disorder which can result in the death of a patient gets top priority and last time I checked Vitiligo did not cause death. but I hate when they consider it a cosmetic problem because vitiligo also affects you mentally, physically,psychologically,physiologically and spiritually and I even know a person who tried to commit suicide over it so how can they just say it's cosmetic when it has such a emotional impact on those of us who have it !!!!!!!
Cancer & Aids get the highest priority and the most money for medical research
