adding on to that the reason for this theory is bc it’s an autoimmune disease and while most ppl with vitiligo won’t have another one there IS a corrolation w other autoimmune diseases so like if u wanna maybe draw ur character also w a diabetic pump that would be kinda cool (they said diabetically)

there’s a theory that trauma to the skin can trigger a new patch of vitiligo to form (which i’m prone to believe cause my forehead patch came in after i got a bad habit of popping pimples LMAO) so if ur character has a cool facial scar along w vitiligo u could give them a patch originating from the scar (or an acne patch like me…….) for example the bottom of my eye patches are v smooth but my forehead patches are all over the fucking place patches can have smooth and/or splotchy edges, even on just one person. that said not everybody has face patches most famous example i can think of is jon hamm also armpits but ppl don’t usually draw characters w visible armpits. vitiligo can happen anywhere on the body but it’s most common around the eyes, mouth, hands and feet. i actually have a freckle that’s cut in half by the edge of a patch currently idk if other people have this but the right side of my patches are bigger, which is why i say TO AN EXTENT you obviously don’t have to follow this rule bc there’s real life exceptions, but most patches will have a patch/other half similar in size and shape on the other side vitiligo is, in MOST cases, symmetrical TO AN EXTENT. unless ur character is sunburned just don’t that said don’t be afraid to give pale characters vitiligo, it’s definitely not as noticeable at first glance but still cool they won’t be pure white but they’ll be pretty close and just looking at photos of ppl (especially in different lighting) will help it’s the destruction of melanocytes, not an opacity filter. unless your character is pale the patches won’t be just a couple shades paler than their skin color.
