The exact cause of vitiligo in children, as in adults, remains unclear. However, several factors may contribute to its development:
Genetic predisposition: A family history of vitiligo or other autoimmune diseases can increase the risk. Autoimmune response: The body’s immune system may mistakenly attack melanocytes. Environmental triggers: Sunburn, stress, or exposure to certain chemicals might trigger the onset in genetically predisposed children.
