A member asked:
Got few vitiligo patches at one side of body, can i use tan oil and expose it to get it a little bit darker? had vitilgo since 8-9 y/o never increased

No: If it tans dark from this, it is not vitiligo. As you tan darker, the vitiligo, by contrast, will become more conspicuous. You can use fake tan spray to hide the vitiligo. Are you SURE of the diagnosis?
