Hello Everyone from Puerto Rico

Hello. I am new here.  I have beginning stages of vitiligo. This is difficult for me especially since I have been recovering from breast cancer. I am happy to have found this site. Now I don't feel so alone. Thanks for accepting my request.

  • Hello and Welcome!  I wonder if your vitiligo was triggered by your treatment for cancer.  Glad you are recovering and happy you joined.  

    • Hello Glen and thanks for responding. It may have been triggered by the med I was taking--->tamaxafin. I no longer take it. Not sure though because there are many people here with vitiligo. I am in the Caribbean. Am looking forward to return to the States. I can't stand this heat.

      • I think it is difficult to tell what triggers it.   I don't know how my vitiligo started.   It just started showing up a few years ago. 

        It's cool up here in North Carolina now and will be nice until summer.  I like having only one hot season. :)

        • TOO HOT HERE. SORRY FOR THE CAPS. UNDERSCORES DON'T WORK AT TIMES.
