The sun does not get along well with vitiligo.

Skin with vitiligo has less pigment, which means it can burn faster than the surrounding skin. That is why sun protection is one of the most important habits for anyone living with vitiligo.

Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day can help protect depigmented areas from painful burns. Choose SPF 30 or higher, and remember to reapply every 2 hours when you are outdoors, especially if you are sweating or swimming.

Protective clothing, wide-brimmed hats, and shade can also make a big difference during peak sun hours. And tanning beds should be avoided completely, since they expose the skin to harmful UV radiation and can increase the risk of burns and skin damage.

We always remind patients that sun protection is not optional for vitiligo care. It is a daily step that helps keep sensitive skin safer.

Is sunscreen part of your daily skin care routine? Comment below and let us know.

A good vitiligo checkup should give you more than a diagnosis.

Patients often have questions about sun protection, skincare products, makeup or coverage, procedures, skin injury, family history, and how to talk about vitiligo with others.

Those questions matter.

Dermatology care should help you understand what vitiligo is, what it is not, how to protect your skin, what risks to avoid, and what next steps may fit your goals.

Our providers take time to educate patients in a way that feels clear, supportive, and practical.

If you are ready to get answers about vitiligo or changing skin patches, visit SkinPros or book an appointment with our experts. https://www.skinpros.com/

Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition. The immune system attacks melanocytes, which are the cells that make skin pigment.

Here are facts more people should know:

- Vitiligo is not contagious
- It does not come from poor hygiene
- It can affect any skin tone
- It can appear on the face, hands, arms, feet, lips, or around body openings
- It can affect hair color, including brows, lashes, and scalp hair
- It often needs medical guidance, not guessing

At SkinPros, we believe better skin education lowers fear, shame, and confusion.

Waiting for vitiligo to “get worse” before seeing a dermatologist may cost you useful time.

Early evaluation can help you understand what is happening, what to watch for, and how to protect your skin. It can also help rule out other skin conditions that may look similar.

If you notice lighter areas, patches that grow, skin that burns more easily, or color changes in your hair, brows, lashes, mouth, or nose, it is worth getting checked.

Our dermatology team gives patients clear answers and practical next steps. https://www.skinpros.com/

Vitiligo is visible on the skin, but the misunderstanding around it can be just as harmful.

June is Vitiligo Awareness Month, and we'll be sharing useful information to help everyone better understand this condition.

Vitiligo happens when the skin loses pigment in certain areas. These patches can appear slowly or quickly, and they can affect the face, hands, arms, feet, lips, hair, and other areas.

This month, we will talk about:

- Early signs of vitiligo
- Sun protection for lighter patches
- Common myths and facts
- Safe ways to care for affected skin
- When to see a dermatology provider

Awareness should feel clear, useful, and supportive.

Early detection starts with knowing your skin.

You see your skin more than anyone else.

That makes self-checks important.

Look for: New spots, changing spots, sores that do not heal, spots that bleed, moles with uneven shape or color or anything that looks different from your other spots

When you know your skins, you can notice changes sooner.

When was the last time you checked your skin for changes?

05/22/2026

“I noticed a mole that looked different, so I booked a skin check. Thankfully, it wasn’t anything serious, but I’m so glad I didn’t ignore it.

Now I come in for regular check-ups and feel much more at ease.”

A quick skin check can give you clarity and peace of mind.

If you have a mole or spot that looks new, different, or changing, let one of our providers take a look. 👀

Skin cancer can affect anyone.

Some people have a higher risk than others, but no one has zero risk.

Your risk may increase if you have lighter skin, a history of sunburns, many moles, indoor tanning history, a family or personal history of skin cancer, or frequent sun exposure.

Knowing your risk helps you make better choices for your skin.

Which of these risk factors do you think people ignore the most?

A mole does not have to look “scary” to deserve attention.

That’s why the ABCDE rule matters.

Here’s what ABCDE stands for:

A is for Asymmetry: one half of the mole doesn’t match the other.
B is for Border: the edges are uneven, blurred, or irregular.
C is for Color: there are multiple colors or unusual shades.
D is for Diameter: it’s larger than a pencil eraser.
E is for Evolving: it changes in size, shape, color, or feel.

Change is one of the biggest warning signs.

So don’t just ask, “Does this look bad?”

Ask, “Has this changed?”

Take a quick photo once a month so you can compare it over time.

If something looks new, different, or changing, don’t guess.

Let one of our providers take a look. 👀

We’re here when you need a skin check.
