“…Recently, provoking factors of vitiligo have been reported by using a questionnaire similar to that used in our study21; the subjects reported that emotional stress (55.4%) was the most frequent provoking factor, followed by sunburn (28.8%), mechanical factors (19.2%), and chemical factors (16.4%). However, the overall rate of vitiligo patients who mentioned provoking factors were lower in the present study than in Vrijman et al's21 study, and the prevalence of particular aggravation factors reported by enrolled patients with vitiligo was different, although the items associated with the aggravation of the disease were similar.…”

“…Therefore, prevention through the early detection of risk factors could be considered more important in vitiligo than treatment itself. Although the aggravating factors of vitiligo have been noted in many reports, only a few studies have analyzed these factors in both the daily life and occupational settings8,21. The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors and associated aggravating factors of vitiligo in the working environment and in daily life.…”

BackgroundIt was previously thought that persons with genetic predispositions to vitiligo develop the condition after exposure to various precipitating environmental factors. However, in many cases, the aggravating factors of vitiligo have not been clearly identified.ObjectiveTo identify the aggravating factors of vitiligo in the working environment and daily life.MethodsA total of 489 vitiligo patients were recruited from 10 institutions in South Korea; patients were provided with a questionnaire about environmental factors and behavior patterns in the workplace and in daily life, and their association with vitiligo.ResultsNinety-five of the 470 enrolled patients (20.2%) answered that environmental risk factors in daily life and in the workplace affected the development of vitiligo. The most frequently attributed causes were trauma and burn (13.6%), followed by sunlight (12.8%), stress (12.8%), cleaning products/disinfectant/chemicals (4.9%), and hair dye (2.1%).ConclusionVitiligo of the hand and foot was associated with frequent exposure to aggravating materials and overexposure to sunlight, along with frequent trauma of these areas, all of which could be considered important risk factors of vitiligo. The development of vitiligo could potentially be controlled through the early detection of aggravating factors.

“…(Vrijman et al, 2013) Interestingly, in another study, psychological stress was found to increase the level of neuroendocrine hormones with an impact on the immune system. (Al'Abadie et al, 1994) Therefore, one plausible hypothesis is that this increase in neuroendocrine hormones might be the initiating event in the pathogenesis of vitiligo.…”

Vitiligo has a major impact on health-related quality of life (QOL). Although a few vitiligo specific QOL instruments exist, there is no specific vitiligo burden tool. We developed and validated a specific vitiligo burden tool according to skin phototype. In total, 301patients completed 35-item of the Vitiligo Impact Patient scale (VIPs) of who 235 were of skin phototype I to III and 66 of phototype IV to VI. The dimensionality of the items was evaluated using factor analyses with results suggesting 3 factors in fair and dark skinned patients ("Psychological effects on daily life", "Relationships and Sexuality", and "Economic constraints, Care & Management of Disease"). Unidimensionality was confirmed by higher order factor analysis. Cronbach's α were high and intra-dimensional coherences all demonstrated good reliability (α>0.8). The final instrument consists of 29 items (19 items common to all patients, 3 specific to fair skin and 7 to dark skin. The test-retest reliability demonstrated very good reproducibility. Intra Class Correlation of each dimension was >0.90 for each population. External validity was confirmed by the correlation coefficients and Bland and Altman plots of the VIPs-FS and VIPs-DS versus the SF-12, PVC Metra, BISS and DLQI assessment tools.Journal of Investigative Dermatology accepted article preview online, 08 October 2015. doi:10.1038/jid.2015.398.

“…However, due to the needs of the patient and the risk of retraumatization, it is decided against biopsy. Vitiligo might be a result of emotional stress, physical-chemical traumas and burning [26][27][28][29]. Since the lesion emerged after electrical torture, and there is no similar lesion on any part of the body the cable which was wound around penis during electric shock could also be considered to touch his scrotum and cause a burn mark and might be followed by loss of pigment cells.…”
