[|Human|] My 12 year old daughter has extensive vitiligo which developed when she was 6 years old. I am reluctant to give her any drugs unless absolutely necessary. I am sure you are all advocates of the HPV vaccine but.....not sure what I am trying to ask. Will it make the vitilgo worse, affect an already too strong immune system? She is a very healthy (one cold in 5 years) tall, slim young lady. Thank Regards Susan
[|AI|]  Hi, Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease with genetic influence. It is a unpredictable disease. Sometimes it may clear by itself without any treatment. In many cases it may become extensive. While in few cases it may remain stable. Anything wrong or right for the body may exacerbate or improve the disease. It is very difficult to answer about your query, HPV vaccines effect on vitiligo process. You have to decide what you wish. If the vaccine is necessary, you may give. You consult dermatologist personally to have better ideas about vitiligo. Thanks.
