SUMMER, SUNSHINE, AND VITILIGO
.
Questions I get asked often
.
Does your white skin burn fast in the sun?
- YES! I have to reapply sunscreen every 45 minutes to not get burn. And even then I still burn in those spots sometimes.
Do your white spots tan at all?
- NO! They either stay white, or get pink from a sunburn and then go back to white
Does it hurt to get a sunburn on your white spots?
- Yes, like for everyone else too. I just burn faster and it can get pretty fast pretty gnarly.
Do your white spots grow?
- In my case, yes. But for others it stops and another version of vitiligo the spots reverse back to normal skin. Not for me… I’ll probably end up as an albino eventually 🤷🏼♀️
Do you get self conscious about your skin condition?
- Not anymore. I learned to accept and embrace it and now I just live with it. I don’t mind what I look like.
