Just venting
I developed vitiligo at 30 years old and have had it for a year now. Almost my entire face, underarms, and hands. It came so suddenly and spread rather quickly 😵💫 and to be honest although it’s been a year already, it’s still so hard accepting my “new skin”…”new face”. After living 30 years with my old complexion it’s hard to get used to this new one . (Hoping someone understands what I’m talking about lol) but I’m trying very hard to love myself still. Mine came around due to stress and ppd. My dad also has vitiligo so pretty much hereditary as well. According to my dermatologist I basically had the gene dwelling waiting for some stressful event to trigger it. I also have 3 kids and I want to set a good example for them and show them there is nothing wrong with vitiligo but I also want them to take care of their mental health and take life easy, in case it’s the same situation with them.
I’m just venting here.. also welcome to some words of encouragement 🥹
