Hello everyone,
So I have had vitiligo for about 25 years of my life. I also have other medical problems since birth so really my skin discoloration was never really a bother. I always wore sunscreen and things to cover my skin. Being light colored skin it never really was visible. For the past 16 year or so I have used tanners and also spray tans which really looked great. Recently in past 2 years I have been under stress off and on plus also had a hysterectomy and my spots have gone crazy, and I mean crazy. I don't know if it is me but it looks as though areas are getting bigger and bigger every month. I will be depigmented naturally in no time. I have though, gone to the doctor who prescribed Ultiquin which is for hyperpigmentation. I got prescription but I knew it would not work cause I don't have hyperpigmentation. I went back and he is sending me to a dermatologist. Hopefully the derm will give me a prescription of monobenzone ether of hydroquin. I so hope to be one color cause it is now really effecting my life now. I really do believe that stress and your hormones really do play a role in vitiligo.
