A bigger vitiligo flow chart!

Last Updated on 10th March 2022 by Caroline Haye

Thanks to everyone who flagged up that the image I posted yesterday, entitled The cause of your vitiligo is probably on this chart, was too small to read. The causes of this skin condition are famously complex. So much so, that even a bigger vitiligo flow chart than this still would probably not have enough space.

The chart is not a definitive representation of the causes of vitiligo. The reality is more complicated still. But it certainly illustrates how many different factors may be involved in the disease process. And the likely involvement of the digestive system, in particular, is an eye-opener… Which makes sense of the fact that many of us have been able to halt or reverse our vitiligo using diet and nutrition.

This flow chart is a reminder that vitiligo is not “just a harmless skin condition”, as many may think.

For more background on the causes of vitiligo, from expert Dr John Harris, see his blog post on this subject.
