Hi, i have vitiligo and i want to shave wax the chest and back. there are some contraindications that not allow shave by vitiligo? thank you very much

No.: There is absolutely no contraindications to shaving in a vitiligo patient. You are simply removing the hair at the level of the skin, and this does not cause or worsen vitiligo in any way.
