I'm worried about my son's new wife because her dad has vitiligo, and I didn't think much of it before. The girl, my daughter-in-law now, doesn't show any signs of it so far. I've just learned that vitiligo can be hereditary. What are the chances she might develop it? And what precautions or treatments can we consider to prevent her or future children from getting vitiligo?
