I’ve read so many stories of people’s spots spreading fast and mine (at one point I was getting one once a month) and now (I believe) 3 of my spots are reverting back. Does that mean mine is going away? I’m confused. Thank you.

Has Anyone After COVID-19 Vaccination Noticed Increase Or Flare Up In Their White Spots?
Has Anyone After COVID-19 Vaccination Noticed Increase Or Flare Up In Their White Spots?
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.
