Itching before breakout

Hi all!  I am new here and looking forward to meeting everyone.  Whenever I have a breakout of white patches or a white spot, the area itches beforehand. It itched really bad on my neck and that is where it all started a few months ago. Wondering if anyone has had the same experience or anything similar.

  • Hi there! My white spots itch after being in the sun.... if my hands or feet are exposed they also hurt in the sun.
  • Yes, that has been true for me as well as stressing seems to bring new areas on as well.

    • Thank you Gia & Bamsegutt. 
  • I sure have. In the beginning, my skin itched a lot when it was losing pigment. I actually stopped steroid cream, was put on protopic, then stopped protopic...all because I THOUGHT I was allergic. I thought the creams must have been what was making me itch so much. Turns out my skin just itches when I get new spots sometimes. It hasn't happened since then, but whenever I itch, I wonder if I will see a spot start to appear soon. The itching may stop with time. Like I said, I haven't had that experience since the first few months I had vitiligo. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! :)
