About Me:

I am a 23 year old nursing student who was just diagnosed with vitiligo. I developed spots on my body a year ago. I thought it was due to tanning until I began getting more and more spots(on my elbow, my upper arms, small ones on my thighs, some around my eyes) that just didn't seem to go away! Frustrated, I finally went to a dermatologist and found the answers I was looking for. I'm scared about this diagnosis yet don't have anyone to turn to that understands the situation!

    Yea I am using it! I started putting it on a few of my spots about 2 weeks ago. I hope it will work! I didn't ask the dermatologist about it and just started it..I wanted to test it out for myself. All the dermatologists around where I live are not very good haha. Let me know if you decide to try it on your skin I would be interested to hear about your results. I will post if I see any changes with my skin too! :)

    I know what you mean Jillian everyday I can tell my skin is chaning...I am fair also which is a blessing for  us..it's easier to hide..I'm more concerned about my face than anywhere else...you will find someone who loves you just the way you are...keep praying! And, remember it could be so much worse...we are fortunate that vitiligo is not life threatening!

    Go online and google "Emily's vitiligo" her dad wrote a free book online...I think it's some of the best info. out there..diet has a lot to do with vitiligo from my research!

    What type of doctor gives b12 shots? I was interested in doing that too but wasn't sure who to ask about it. Good luck with you laser treatment! I take a lot of supplements about 10 a day. I am also on a gluten free, yeast free, dairy free, vegan diet. I also just started applying bimatoprost to my spots and use coconut oil on my face. I use to use the steriod clobetasol but I didn't have to much success but I might consider trying it again if the bimatoprost doesn't work.

    Where is your vitiligo? You look GREAT girl, we are lucky because we have a fair complexion (if that's your photo posted)...I have a little vitiligo on my face but no one else can see it but me. Vitiligo on my face seems worse I like the places I can cover up....
