Can vitiligo be the result of sunburn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vague question.: Do you mean that the vitiligo which was caused by a sunburn then spread to other uninvolved areas vs a pre-existing problem with vitiligo which may spread to involved a sunburnt area which was not previously involved?
