World Vitiligo Day

It's a day that many organisations are working hard to raise the awareness of. It aims to spread the word about vitiligo, gaining awareness of the disorder and increasing support for those with it – something that is lacked in all countries.

Eye colour linked to vitiligo

New research has revealed eye colour could be linked to vitiligo.

Spread Awareness

Facebook has over 845 million monthly active users. The number of people with vitiligo worldwide is just 50 million. If we can connect with just 1% of these people, we'd be reaching thousands - and raising the awareness of vitiligo globally.

Next trip to the doctors

I was really unhappy with the outcome from the doctors and knowing there are promising treatments out there I made another appointment. By the time I got in there I was really emotional because I was so worried in case I was sent away again without any support - so I went well prepared (I took along a printout with all of the different options there are so that I could ask about them all).

I saw a different doctor and as soon as I went into the room I think she could tell how upset I was about it all. The doctor listened to me and without having to say anything else she said she wanted to refer me to a specialist.

In the meantime, I’ve been put me on protopic as it’s going to take a while for my appointment to come through.
