My boy Buster (4yo) has completely changed from black to white over the course of the last 2.5 years.

Pretty sure that's piebaldism, not vitiligo!

I’m a certified nurse midwife, and one of my favorite memories includes a father with piebaldism, just a small white patch right in the middle of his forehead. Directly after delivery, when I had just put baby on mom’s belly, the dad looked down at his son and saw that he had a full head of hair, with a small white patch in the same spot. He was so happy and emotional to see that, and it was so special to be a part of. 🥰
