Kids with simple hereditary factors will not surely have vitiligo, but if there are some factors that affected those who have hereditary factors and lead to pigment loss, then vitiligo happens. So kids who have family history should pay attention to prevent those factors that can cause vitiligo, like tension, trauma, sunshine exposure, etc.
