Vitiligo is an allergy like reaction in skin where your immune system is fighting against the color producing cells (melanocytes). Since immunity has memory, it can always react against melanocytes. To put it simple, it just like asthma disease which increases and decreases. However, treatments can definitely help you to arrest the spread and improve the color. No Doctor can foresee, in which of the patients these patches spread. Hence, do not take too much of tension of this. Follow your Doctor's advice promptly and rest stay calm

Good evening. If it is vitiligo we are talking about, then the answer to your questions are - 1) yes. There is a chance that it can spread to other areas of the body if you have been diagnosed with non-segmental vitiligo. 2) it is not a 100% curable but can definitely be treated. Treatment involves repigmenting the affected areas using creams/ sunlight based therapy/ surgical options if applicable. If it is actively spreading, oral tablets can prescribed to try and control it. Do not lose hope. There are many options that can be tried to repigment stable vitiliginous skin patches.
