Is vitiligo curable?

What is vitiligo?

It is a non-infectious condition of the skin which shows up as white patches. It can have different presentations: localised or generalised. For example, like just on the lips, just on the fingertips or one side of your body, like one side of shoulder or hip, or it could be quite widespread and generalised.

Can vitiligo affect one internally? Or does having vitiligo mean one has a problem with their internal organs?
