Is it true that segmental vitiligo only spread for a period of 6 - 12 months before it finally stabilizes? Is there any chance it could be reactivated later in life?

This characteristic of segmental vitiligo causes fears among those affected as it can make you feel as though the white patches may cover your entire body. However, the spread stops abruptly and could remain stable for the rest of your life.
