Also, if you notice someone staring or glancing do you explain your condition or keep it moving?
Thanks for sharing @A MyVitiligoTeam Member! What tanning creme do you use for your hands? I have had some success with one I have bought at Target but it can be hit or miss in the application and I haven't used it since my vit has spread. I may go bsck to it for my own peace of mind and comfortability in public. But I am torn.
Thanks for your response and sharing. You're right; I haven't had many stares/glances since it is mostly isolated to my hands. But when I do, people have never said anything. And actually, the only time someone has said anything happened when I was helping a child and she said she liked it and that it was beautiful. The most encouraging thing I have ever heard regarding my skin! 😊 I still get nervous meeting people in person for the first time, but I need to remind myself of what that sweet girl told me that day.
Very tough question, I would literally say move on...you do not have to explain in detail your condition and an average person would avoid questions like that that would make a person uncomfortable.👍🏽😊
Great response! I appreciate that perspective.
I buy alot of cute Vitiligo t-shirts! I developed Vitiligo during covid, when I got back to work people were like "what happened". Some bought me gifts and felt sorry for me! I was like it is all good! It is not contagious and it doesn't hurt!
