So I recently came across a new Vitiligo spot/patch forming on my face, this is due to the fact my face receives a significantly less amount of UV light because it is sensitive and I use a pillowcase to cover my face for my UV light treatments. If you have Segmental Vitiligo that is not being treated or spreads easily then you may wonder how to tell the difference between a new spot and a disappearing spot. Given that usually Vitiligo only "disappears" when treated but in some cases your skin may go through a change and suddenly produce color in that area.

This is a picture of new Vitiligo spots starting to appear on my face. It is very hard to tell in a picture and may seem undetectable by the human eye in person. Take a closer look, the area's I have (very roughly) circled are areas that the Vitiligo is starting to appear. These area's turn lighter almost
cloudy until it forms into a more unified spot. If a person is more fair-skinned it may be harder to detect a new forming spot/patch.
Keep Reading for pictures and explanation. :)
