I got vaccinated in May 2021 with my first dose and by the end of July 2021, I noticed a sudden flare up and rapid progression.
I don't know if it is because of the vaccine because I was on antibiotics for a month in June.
This also raises another question, has anyone noticed increase in their vitiligo post/during the use of antibiotics?
Thank you all in advance.
Think stress is the worst thing for it.
Hello
I want to ask that should I go for COVID-19 vaccination ? My main concern is that the vaccine will make the immune system more enhanced to fight against corona virus so I think it will also effect Vitiligo

Will the vitiligo spread and become larger after receiving the vaccine? Anyone experience this?
No not much, but since mine's on my face, even a tiny new spot is clearly visible.
Hello, I would like to know if there are any studies showing the effect of vaccines ( especially annual flu shot and now COVID vaccine) in patients with vitiligo. With the mandatory annual flu shot for health providers and I am very concerned now that my vitiligo seems a little under control.
Thank you,
