Explaining Vitiligo! (A condition I have)

Somethings that people don't know about Vitiligo!
1) Vitiligo isn't contagious!
2) When having Vitiligo it means that some of the cells in your body die (pretty much the cells that give you your skin color)
3) Vitiligo can happen to anyone!
.

As someone who was born with the condition (pretty much my mom passed it down to me) I don't see many people with Vitiligo and I get uncomfortable in public.
No I wasn't born with it right off the bat! Around 3rd or 4th that's when the condition started and I started getting patches of white in my skin.

The white parts are sensitive to the sun which would mean that I have to wear sunscreen when going out in a hot day. And which would also mean the spots would get sunburned.
Since I have the condition passed down to me it would mean that if I ever had a child its possible that I would pass the condition down to them.

But to be honest I get uncomfortable when people start to admire me for my skin and when people just tell me that they think I'm cool or something- it makes me really uncomfy...

I hope that this sorta helps clearing the air about Vitiligo a bit-

The more you know

Ps! It can happen if you're in the sun for a bit too long! The sun can kill off your cells which can give you patches of white in your skin

You already heard that I have it, (sorry if this makes up uncomfortable)
But I still think your very pretty, I’m not saying that BECAUSE of your skin condition though.
It’s just, you!
