Hello,
Vitiligo and psoriasis both have a genetic and hereditary predisposition. This does not mean, however, that every child of a parent with psoriasis or vitiligo will develop them, but it is common that somewhere down the line they will appear in families.
Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries. Warm regards.
