I am 38 year old man, I am suffering from vitiligo, from last 10 years also my mother has vitiligo. I found this vitiligo developed only after we change our place from previous. I think does it related to the type of water as we use supply water of bleaching type after coming to the new place 10 years back. My question is1. What is the probability of my son who is 5 years old now getting this vitiligo in future. 2. What precaution I need to take in order to stop my son getting this vitiligo in future. 3. Pls suggest me from all angles what food habit we should adopt? 4. Should we use ground boring water instead of current water which is drawn from river and after treatment supplied to household. 5. Is there any prevention to avoid this etc.
