Hello,


Yes, having a family member with vitiligo increases the risk, but it doesn't mean you will definitely inherit it or pass it on to your children. The condition's development depends on a mix of genetic and environmental factors.

If you have concerns about vitiligo or its potential impact on your family, you should consult with a healthcare professional or a genetic counselor.


Hope this helps,

Thank you
