Finally got me after 25
Was told by a dermatologist today that I have vitiligo after a wood lamp test. Quite shocking to hear this news and it kinda is stressing me out here. I would have never expected to be in the 1% of the population that has it. I woke up this week and just had that white patch on my ring finger right in the middle. I thought nothing of it since I used to work in a bakery and figured it was scar tissue I never noticed from burns.
How does one learn to accept this? I feel like crying over this since I had several issues with my body already. Knowing there isn’t treatment to resolve this issue for good is stressing me out.
She prescribed me a cream that is supposed to bring back pigmentation and even in her words, stop the spread and halt it but I heard that it can attack pigmentation cells wherever it wishes
What was your story with this condition and how did it become easier on you? Any and all tips on this would be appreciated. I really just want to feel better about this condition and myself here…
