this is all new to me

I was told that vitiligo usually occurs before the age of 40.  I was 38 when I first noticed the lightning around my chin area.  I went to a dermatologist who said that it might be a fungus.  She prescribed a cream ointment, but it had no effect. The color got even lighter when I was in the sun and I got sunburn.  Durning the winter my color returned only to repeat the same thing this summer of 2010.

 

 

My question is could this be another condition.  Everything I read about vitilgo hits my symptoms firht on the head.  But could it be something else?

  • GRRRRRR dermatologists piss me off with their mis-diagnoses. I can't tell you how many stories i've heard about derms saying that vitiligo is a "fungus" from a tree. Yeah.... and baby's come from chicken eggs. LOL. I guarantee you, if you send me or anyone else on this board a picture of what you suspect to be vitiligo we can confirm it or dismiss it more accurately than most derms. Note that i'm not qualified to diagnose anything. That said, I know what vitiligo is and i'm more educated on it than most professionals. Send me a pic ok?
