I know that having Vitiligo is mainly cosmetic damage and needing to be stricter with sunscreen and as a white person it’s not that noticeable beyond when my hair starts turning white, but being in the middle of a flair up and not being able to do anything as your body slowly destroys itself sucks!
May 13, 2025 17:01Like at most I can get topical steroids to help with the inflammation and that can maybe slow things down but not much I can do beyond that. There’s not much known about the disease it just happens and there’s not much to be done about it. I just have to sit here and deal with it.
Having an itch that won’t go away and putting moisturizer on it and having it do nothing sucks! Having the only option be topical steroids and even then it will just slow the onset of it (at least what I have some people just have it happen once) sucks! Autoimmune diseases suck!
Hi yes my body hates itself for some reason and science just doesn’t know why yet and so I must just deal with it as splotchy parts of my body prematurely have white hairs and I have no natural protection against sun damage there so I have to be extra careful now so I don’t get skin cancer.
Posting through it today so I can maintain sanity and do my work
