Patients with vitiligo can eat mangoes, as mangoes benefit the stomach, quench thirst, and promote urination. They are rich in vitamins A and C. Although long-term excessive intake of vitamin C-rich foods or medications is one of the triggers for vitiligo, vitamin C is also an antioxidant. It can help the body eliminate oxygen free radicals, which can damage our body's melanocytes. Melanocytes are a key factor in vitiligo. Therefore, consuming a moderate amount of vitamin C-rich fruits has little impact on vitiligo; there is no need to avoid them entirely.
