You are a walking piece of art! Someone said that to me when I got Vitiligo 3 years ago! I am over 50 and it was tough but I managed to embrace it and wear cute T-shirts with vitiligo logos etc! We really don't know how it comes on it is different for everyone! Research the wonderful people online that live with this and are doing an amazing job! When I get stares I just say HELLO and smile!
