I’m wondering what other conditions people got after being diagnosed with vitiligo. Or before for that matter. I’ve seen some discussions of psoriasis. What other conditions did you get? Did they come before or after the vitiligo?

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.

My son has various medical conditions the one that bothers him the most which doesn't affect him the same as his health is his vitiligo due to how cruel others can be.

Thanks

I’ve had vitiligo for 51 years and my skin is all white. Now I’m starting to get brown spots on my face and arms. I went to the dermatologist and she said it was my brown skin coming back! 😳 Wow!

I have some pale patches I'm not sure are vitiligo. Doc said to use opzelura on them and that it won't harm the healthy skin, but is that right? I asked AI (Gemini), and it said opzelura can lighten healthy skin. Plus, opzelura is expensive, and I don't want to waste a precious ounce on pale but healthy skin. I have a black light but am having trouble distinguishing vitiligo from healthy skin. Everything seems to fluoresce.
