Is there a connection between Vitiligo and Blood Flow?
This article seems to think so.

This may have been translated from chinese...
"The pathogenic factors of vitiligo are mainly: heat in the blood or bodily heat; invasion by exogenous wind or damp, which invade into the skin resulting in disorder of the circulation of qi and blood at the surface; and blockage of the channels and vessels (thus, the blood cannot nourish the skin leading to qi-stagnation and hair-orifices blocked). Because the hair-orifices are blocked, the affected skin looks glossy."
quoted from wikipedia
"Out of the many conflicting research results, Ginkgo extract may have three effects on the human body: improvement in blood flow (including microcirculation in small capillaries) to most tissues and organs; protection against oxidative cell damage from free radicals; and blockage of many of the effects of platelet-activating factor (platelet aggregation, blood clotting)[26] that have been related to the development of a number of cardiovascular, renal, respiratory and central nervous system disorders."
"A study conducted in 2003 by the Department of Dermatology, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh, India concluded that Ginkgo is an effective treatment for arresting the development of vitiligo."
Maybe a cure for vitiligo involves the combination of melanin stimulation + the promotion of healthy blood flow
