Does anyone have Vitiligo??

I have it and It's destroyed my self-confidence completely.
I have it on my legs and feet.
I never wear shorts, flip-flops, and I hate going swimming.
My family tells me I shouldn't be so self-conscious but I ignore them because I am 12 and people always make fun of others for those kind of things at our age.
If you have it, how does it make you feel?
And if you need any help with it, my mom is going to get me this: http://www.vitiligo-tab.net/about_vitili...
It's supposed to get rid of it.
I can't wait.
But it will be a while until we can. . . .

As regards Cure in vitiligo, Different people use the term 禄Cure芦 in different context. Some use this term for complete eradication of illness from the body, while others are concerned only with re-pigmentation of the existing spots.
If you mean complete eradication of the disease from you system, that is a tricky matter. Vitiligo results from a derangement of your normal defense mechanisms against infection. The body starts producing antibodies against pigment producing cells of its own skin. No definite causes are known, and so are the remedies. This is a generalized abnormality of your immune system, and there are currently no acceptable permanent means to halt this process.
The damage to pigment producing cells manifests as patches of skin, which have reduced, or no pigment. This is what bothers you, us and every one else.
You cannot cure or halt it, but you can manage the local manifestations (white patches) using topical or oral treatments.
If you disease is not widespread, and is limited you can go for a topical treatment. The one I used and found beneficial is the once form where I got this material.

That explained nothing I asked. . . Report It

dude tht sucks. i dont have it but i have psoriasis. its on my scalp. its not very bad anymore, it was really gross a few years back. and it would peel and crap leaving my hair a greasy flakey mess! people in school made fun of me and i cried. which made it worse, coz stress makes it awfuler. im sorry to hear you have this, coz yer awful young. just ignore others, theyre dumb!

My son had it. He used a steroid cream (only available with a doctor's prescription) and the skin eventually got most of its pigment back. I can still see the places where it was, but most people don't even notice -- and he's a dark-skinned black guy, so it was REALLY obvious.

If you have not yet seen a dermatogist, go. It will make a difference.
