Spreading Vitiligo

I have had vitiligo for a few years; however, in the past few years, it has not been widespread or that visible. Within the past few months, the spots have started spreading all along my face. This is making me feel very depressed, and I constantly use makeup to cover it up (I am a guy :(.).. At a very young age, it is very disheartening to have to do this.

I am transferring to a university that is 4 hours from home this upcoming fall, and I feel as though this skin condition will be impossible to deal with at college.

Is there anything I can do to cure the vitiligo or atleast stop it from spreading?

I have heard that sunlight causes vitiligo to spread faster. Is this true, and does it mean that going to college isn't a good idea?

Any tips will help. Just need some advice and guidance as I go to college with this depressing skin problem.

Thank you.

I am not going to tell you I know the answer, but I have read about gluten ( maybe grains) could be the cause .  It is interesting to me how many issues I have read about that can be caused by gluten.  Try going gluten free for 2 weeks and see if this help. I have a family member that this helped. I went gluten free 3 years ago and recently grain free... but this was for other reasons.  
Will you post back on this question if you do follow that so others know your results?
