Discussion I am curious, does anyone on this forum have vitiligo or other similar skin conditions?

[BraincelsRefugee]

I was diagnosed with vitiligo at 13. Vitiligo is an autoimmune disorder where your own immune cells attack the pigment producing cells in your body, which causes patches of skin to become decoloured. It looks even worse on darker skin (such as mine). The spread has luckily not reached my face yet, but it could at any time. Advanced cases of vitiligo can look like this:

None of my extended family have the condition, so I think it was a random mutation. Later I found out around 1% of people have this condition, so I must have been extremely unlucky.

Is any other fellowcel struggling with appearance disorders like these?

Not sure about vitiligo specifically but there are plenty of skincels here.

They can, but it's not as visible, especially if you are paler.

The rate of vitiligo is the same across all races apparently.

I have it all over but not on my face. It spreads for some people but for others it seems to stop at a certain point. At least it doesnt affect anything else than your skin color. Other autoimmune disorders can really fuck you up, at least this is purely superficial. Not like it really matters because people would treat me like garbage with or without it.

Definitely true. I am glad I'm not suffering from increased risk of diseases or anything. Still sucks to be screwed with a 1 in 100 disorder, but I'd be incel regardless so it doesn't matter.

What meds are you taking for it? The doctors only prescribed me one skin cream "Protopic 0.1%"

I don't take any meds for it, its all over my legs and torso so it never gets any sun exposure and its not sensitive or itchy so i don't worry about it. I do have one spot on my head but not my face, so i have white hair there but nothing that exposes my skin. I think if its on your face some meds would help but otherwise it just seems pointless. Does that skin cream help with yours?

It hasn't been growing with the cream so that's good. But it refuses to go away entirely.

I have this but it isn't severe enough that I can run the JBW game. We're living the same life, JFL, got diagnosed at an earlier age though.
