Vitiligo is one of the most recognized medical conditions on the earth there's not a country or continent on earth where there is no vitiligo. If there was a such thing as aliens from mars there would probably be cases of vitiligo on mars too because it's so universal, even though Vitiligo is one of the most recognized disorders it's one of the most mysterious also, it's been known to skip generations because you may have it and nobody else in your family does but you may have had a great grandparent or great aunt or uncle with it. in people of African decent Vitiligo has known to date back to before slavery there was recorded information about slaves with Vitiligo dating back to the 1600's Vitiligo is one of the most misundertood disorders man kind has ever saw. It's not contagious or communicable like other diseases but yet people who don't know about Vitiligo act like they can get it from you by sitting next to you but it's our job to educate people about it because the world can be so ignorant at times and basically because they are afraid of the unknown !!!!!!
