I mostly itch on my hands and arms. I'm wondering is that common with vitiligo?

Sugar, white flour, salt bad for your joints. Keep your body hydrated with water, green tea, cinnamon, fresh garlic, ginger and turmeric all helps with joint pain. Feed your body with as much natural foods and spices and remember real food does not have a label good luck.

That's interesting I itch sometimes too. I thought it was just me. So working out helps with joint pain? I get joint pain too didn't jnow that was a connection 🤔 I wonder if I should check for RA since vitiligo is linked to other auto immune diseases. Thanks

Yes…mine itch too. When they want to get active, they start to itch. I didn’t realize about the joints. That’s good to know. I’ve noticed mine get painful sometimes, and then it goes away. Not sure if it’s related to my spots itching or something else, but I’m going to try and see if there is a connection. Thank you so much for the information.

I believe when the vitiligo is active I itch more. Also if the temperature is too high. I discovered bathing in a tepid bath with olive oil and magnesium/epsom salts helps.
