Hi rakesh
Sorry your feeling down, I have good days and bad days and wonder what the future holds but you have to deal with it and carry on, take care.

Not nice of them to say that. It affects everyone differently. I am 61 and had it since my teens. Just started some treatments for it a few months ago. There are days I don’t care and just go out running in a tank top and shorts and other days I try to cover it. Find something that helps cover it up. I have tried many things and found self tanners applied with a cotton ball to my spots, let it dry, and then apply the self tanner all over works the best. I only do this in the summer as it takes a while since I have hundreds of spots, all over. It took me time to find the self tanner that works best for me. There are some new treatments and clinical trials that you can check into. The model Winnie Harlow has made so many people aware of vitiligo that I rarely get stares and questions anymore ❤️. There are also support groups around that may help.
