A member asked:

I have a white small spot since 5 years agonever grow or dissapered could it be vitiligo i only have one?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: If it was vitiligo you would have noticed it getting bigger or other spot by now. If it has not changed in 5 yrs then unlikely to be harmful, could be mole, see dermatologist to find out for sure.
