Hello,
Thanks for the query,

Vitiligo is an auto immune disorder.

Its course cannot be predicted,

In many patients it just remains as a single patch.

Please dont get tensed as stress increases the chance of further spread.

You can meet a dermatologist and start treatment for the existing patch.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.

you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
