About Me:
My vitiligo started sometime in my 30's and has progressively gotten worse. Just this past year it has really been noticable, my feet and hands are really bad. I feel fortunate because I am blonde and fair skinned, but even though I wear sunscreen all the time, my face, hands and feet are quite spotty. I am very self conscious about it and try to hide my hands as much as possible. The makeup I wear on my face hides it quite well, but keeps traveling down from my scalp and am noticing spots around my mouth. I am happily married with 3 grown children and 2 grandchildren, and they are all very supportive, saying things like they don't even notice it. But I do, and I find that I do not want to go places or do things because of my appearance and especially when it involves being in the sun. It will be nice to talk to others that know exactly how I feel and can relate to this skin disorder.
