Hi everyone,
I'm almost positive vitligo comes from emotional trauma along with environmental causes.
I would like it if you all shared your experience in life right before you discovered your first white patch..
I'll start, i was 9 years old, i lived in Israel and moved to the states with my family and after a year or two got the disease. the emotional trauma was the new place, new language, new everything.
how about you?

But what about the physical trauma that I mentioned? Please search for this post on page 1. When you say when it's triggered it's hard to stop, is so true. It seems that Koebner effect may take place...
I am agree with you. The emotional trauma and stress don't help us. My vitiligo started when I was 7. In that time I was in the hospital and I had operated the leg. I had to operate several times and therefore I was a lot of time in the hospital. This situacion brought me a lot of stress and was just then when the first patches started.
I'm trying to put together as many trigger facets as possible. I was wondering if they are only: emotional,psychological, physical and environmental. It seems they are always associated with a severe trauma (whatever trauma type is). For example, in this same post on the first page a friend says that his vit started after scraping up his knees after falling off his bike.
Additionally, I think an environmental trauma could be oxidative stress or a chemical intoxication, for instance.
Does it make sense?
Do you know any other types?
I think it has been a mix of different factors. I think that the stress or chemical intoxication don't help us anything and surly they will be the best reason for our vitiligo. And I think one time it will be started it is difficult to stop. For example, in this last year I have doing macrobiotic diet and is supossed I am clean inside. More, I do pretty sport like swimming, biking or mountaining. But until I started to take Ginkgo Biloba didn´t see any difference. But I am quite sure that maybe if I didn´t change my diet habits neither with Ginkgo Biloba wold see any difference.
But the essence is to feel good about ourselves and to know to live with our vitiligo. And the solucion will arrive when we least expect :-)
I will give Ginko a try. I always wanted to try it, but since it's a bit controversial, I took it out.
Your statement is definitely a motivation factor.
I would say that the allergic reaction probably was the one that triggered your vitiligo, not the steroids.
Absolutely agree that emotional and psychological issues switch on something in our genes that present this condition. I've had spots since I was 3 and it's been slow to spread until just recently. I'm 30 now and life is hectic. Definitely going to hone in on treating my psyche just as much as my physical.
