"I have had vitiligo since I was 2. It started with just one spot on my face. That spot disappeared, only to return years later. My mom took me to a dermatologist in Canada (we lived in New York) and he told her what to do. I began taking vitamins and while it seemed to work, it came back again at age 8 or 9 and it's been here ever since. . I was never really bullied as a child, but as I got older and the vitiligo got worse, I did become more and more self conscious of my skin. When it started in my face, I felt I had to wear makeup everyday. That's when I became so dependant on the makeup and I would not go outsude with out applying it! . But one day I decided I was tired of all the makeup and spending so much time worrying about what others think. I know my husband and family love me for me and I just slowly started coming out without makeup. I wasn't easy, but I did it on my own time and when it felt comfortable to me. Now I am so confident in the skin I'm in and I love it. 😄😄😄" . . . #vitiligo #vitiligobeauty #vitiligopride #vitiligoawareness #vitiligotreatment #vitiligoworld #vitiligonation #vitiligogirl #vitiligobeauties #vitiligorocks #art #watercolor #watercolorpainting #bodyart #adobesketch #naturaltattoo #vitiligogirl #vitiligoprincess #face #🇺🇸
