Can vitiligo infect others

First: vitiligo is not infectious, vitiligo is due to local melanin significantly reduced or missing caused by skin, mucous membrane and hair pigment loss changes, does not have pathogens, so vitiligo is not infectious. But there is a certain genetic probability, but more related to the environment, such as life, diet and many other aspects.

Second: vitiligo is not a source of infection, is not infectious. However, in real life, because of the lack of understanding of vitiligo disease, when people see the symptoms of vitiligo in the patient's skin, they will subconsciously avoid, afraid of being infected. Such behavior is neither necessary nor should be done.
