I started having vitiligo from the age of around 12 or less, at first i didn't know what it was. I eventually went to the Dr and she said, its loss of pigment and that was that.That was a few years ago.It started getting worse as the years increased but i didn't really notice until one day i looked in the mirror and really notice that i was literally covered with white spots.I don't wear make up because i think it will be too much problem as my sister has it and the hassle of retouching etc just puts me off. I get lots of stares and comments but you know if people wants to spend their time staring rather than out enjoying themselves good for them,some of the comments i hear makes me laugh. A little boy was walking through the market and i heard him asking his mother, "why the woman was 2 color, white and brown," my son also call me a confused camel ion. There is a lot i would like to say but perhaps next time, by the way i have a son who also has vitiligo. He's a nice looking guy and as i have said, its nothing terminal just cosmetic, thats not to say iam trivilizing it because its really distressing to some people.just try and find a positive in it.
