Common question

Can vitiligo remain stable?

Vitiligo can remain unchanged for months or years. Past stability does not guarantee that no future change will occur.

In het kort

Belangrijkste punten

  • Long stable phases occur
  • Course is individual
  • Use comparable photos
  • Review new change
01

What stable means

No new patches, obvious enlargement or clear activity signs are seen during the period being assessed.

02

Monitoring without constant checking

Periodic photographs under similar conditions are more useful than daily inspection. Rapid change should prompt review.
