Vitiligo is a condition in which skin does not produce pigment in areas. Clearly, if you have this condition, if you suntan, the condition will become more noticeable as the contrast between the tanned skin and the patches affected by vitiligo becomes more pronounced. The vitiligo itself does not fade, but the contrast will become less noticeable.

There is actually a treatment which includes certain steroids and other medicines which fade your unaffected skin to make the vitiligo look less noticeable. Additionally, there are other treatments which try to stimulate the melanocytes in the affected areas to regenerate.

Does vitiligo happen in darker skin people?

Vitiligo can happen to anyone who has melanin, this includes a large population of people who consider themselves white. So if you can tan, if you can get a little brown or sun kissed, you have melanin and can possible get vitiligo. It doesn't matter if you are dark or pale, as long as you have melanin, there is a possibilitiy. If you are Irish or Scottish, usually those ethnic gropus who burn red and not tan, lack melanin, will not get vitiligo.
