  • Did you ever do the nUVB treatments? Did the doctor tell you this was as a result of a treatment you may have done for your vitiligo? My prayers will be with you.
  • Was it Benign?
  • noo its not its not the depigmented area thats the weird thing but it sucks hAAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS AT THIS AGE
  • Miguel, how long have you had vitiligo and was this cancer area a depigmented area that was exposed to sun?
