Vitiligo at work

Vitiligo usually does not limit work capacity. Disclosure and explanation remain personal unless a specific safety issue requires information.

In breve

Punti essenziali

  • No contagion risk
  • Disclosure often optional
  • Workplace UV protection
  • Review contact exposures
01

Control your communication

A brief factual answer can help in customer-facing work, but no one should be forced to disclose unnecessary medical details.

02

Protect skin at work

Outdoor work requires shade, clothing and sunscreen. New patches at contact or pressure sites should be documented and discussed with dermatology or occupational health.
