3. What kind of vitiligo do I have?
   
   
4. Is it possible for me to spread vitiligo to others?
   
   
5. Does vitiligo pose a danger to my overall health?
   
   
6. Should I be tested for thyroid dysfunction or other autoimmune disorders?
   
   
7. What treatment options are available to me?
   
   
8. Is it likely that I will develop white patches over more areas of my body?
   
   
9. What is the likelihood that my children will also develop vitiligo?
   
   
10. What steps can I take to prevent sun damage on the affected areas?
