I've posted this under the Autoimmune topic as it can be a cause.
Last year my teenage DD's best friend developed a large pale circle of skin in the upper middle of her forehead. She's white so it didn't contrast that much, and when she tanned she blended it well with make-up.
It's been monitored since and today my DD told me that her friend has been officially diagnosed with Vitiligo. The doctor said that it could be just hormonal and could improve, but they can't be certain currently.
Her friend is apparently being positive about it and focusing on it being just hormonal. I Googled images of it though and it can become quite extreme.
I'd love to be able to reassure her if that's possible and wondered if any of you were parents of teenagers for whom it did improve, or know people that got over it.
