Difficult to predict: It is very difficult to predict whether vitiligo will remain or spread over time. This is highly variable. Two months of age is a little bit young for vitiligo (though it does happen), so in this case, i would recommend being seen directly by a dermatologist to make sure of the diagnosis.
