Hi all, I've had vitiligo for about 14 years now. Initially i found it after going to the beach. Once i had some color, i noticed a white spot under my eye. However the initial thought was that i had sun poisoning since i also had hives on my face, arms and chest. I had slow progression since found until last year. Now i've lost pigmentation in my hands, arms, face. All during last year. Pigmentation loss does not bother me anymore. I am now more concerned with how sensitive I have become to the sun. To be outside i need to take allergy meds and cover up; otherwise, I end up with hives, itching, and facial swelling. Does anyone have a similar situation or symptoms? If so, any treatment or advise you can share or recommend?
