One night I was at a Getty gas staion. Any one of the Hindu workers asked me "what is the white patches on you elbows?" I said quickly ohh i have vitiligo and i started to leave and usually people who do ask me never no what Im talking about anyways. He said wow what you have is good luck and I was like really??? Because although Im thankful I dont have a worsen condition but vitiligo is like a curse to me sometimes. But the guy said you will have good luck. And in his country people are considered to be the luckiest people that are marked with the white patches. I told him around many people will tell you different.

  • I was never told that it was good luck but I have had a few people tell me that my spots were angel kisses!
  • I like the idea of it being good luck. Because, really the only bad luck in this situation is that we care, obsess and worry.
  • Very interesting story, I have never heard that theory. It would be interesting to know how that myth got started in the country he is from.
