Will my hair lose colour?

On behalf of Shaun:
Hi, i recently noticed I've developed some areas of vitiligo on my cheek and chin area. The hairs that grow there have turned white - how can i limit the spread of this and is there any way I can prevent the hairs turning white?

Hello

I m afraid it is common for hair to turn white in areas of skin affected by vitiligo. You can dye hair or you can treat vitiligo.

I hope this is helpful.
