      Or does it stay forever after immunotherapy?

          Yes, unfortunately it does. I have vitiligo and while it hasn’t gotten any worse since treatment ended, it does not go away. To look at the bright side, they think if you get vitiligo then you are probably going to have a good response to therapy. Hope things are going well!

              Since May 1992, I have had vitiligo. I have been NED since Aug. 2020. Vitiligo is a very small, small price to pay for being cancer free.
