Do people with vitiligo suffer itchiness when exposed to sun and sweat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vitiligo: The skin without pigment is going to be more sun sensitive than the pigmented skin. Where sunscreen and try to avoid sun exposure. Just make sure you are not allergic to the sunscreen. Itching from sweating would be less common.
