Relapse

As mentioned earlier several times vitiligo is a chronic skin condition/disease. It do follow remission-relapse cycle. Relapse can occur once patients are completely recovered from vitiligo due to various reasons. The most important reason is failure to follow consistently, the five essential elements (lifestyle, diet, exercise, skin care and stress management). Rarely relapse can also happen even in those following these. Its very difficult to predict in how many percentage of patients vitiligo relapses or when it relapses.
