Vitiligo On Hands

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
McLean, VA

If anyone would be so kind as to answer this question. I know everyone’s spots are different and unique, but was just getting a sense of an idea on what’s going on with my hands. Even though this can be different for everyone, this helps me get a bit calm in understanding how it happened to others, plus I LOVE hearing everyone’s story about how it started with vitiligo. This helps me not feel so alone with this next chapter of vitiligo.

I pray this doesn’t seem intrusive to anyone. So if… read more

Windsor Hills

Greetings,
I have a pool, even when not swimming it seems
Impossible to apply SB so frequently.
The cost will be monumental and that’s all I’ll be doing, putting on SB.
So I then to stay indoors and go out when the sunsets.
The SB gets in my eyes and I hate the way it feels
On my skin.
I’m a 59 year old grandmother and was diagnosed 3
Years ago.
My mom’s father had vitiligo, it looks like my 30
Year old daughter has a spot coming…,
All this is too challenging….,

Sincerely Me

Does Anyone Have Recommendations For Sun Screen?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Louisville, AL

I have had vitiligo since 2010 in a 34 yr old male. It affects different parts of my body and I am not concerned with treatment. I am concerned with protection from the sun. I have noticed this year my hands are basically completely white. I usually tan very easily in the summer. My face is affected as well and it has spread to more of my face. I am curious as to what the best options out there are for sun screen? Thanks in advance.
