thats a good cover up for vitiligo .. the fringe.
how much of vitiligo do u have rasmi ??
[/QUOTED]

well, i have 3 big spots on the upper forehead, just under where the fringe of hair falls
its almost like one band just below the hairline

the hair do not really completely cover the spots……….because the hair never stays in its place
but atleast due to the hair, the vit doesnt stand out very starkly

then i have big and small spots on both my legs below the knees
i would say about 20% of my legs below the knee covered with spots…discontinous ones
so, the ones on and below the ankle are visible with the dresses i wear

Vandana has very well put down that having vit does not mean the end of the world. In fact it means much much less. It is just a cosmetic problem.

Vandana, you are surely one big morale booster here and we all love you so much )

Saraswathi, hope you are feeling better now. You have first yourself feel like there is no problem with you, then only you can make others look at you in the same light.
I have a good job, and lots of friends, even though I have vit. It has not stopped me form doing anything.
Just concentrate on your positives and life will take a new turn )

Best of luck !!

Hi Jagan,

Have been reading your posts. You seem to have a very interesting work. I am so scrared of snakes and crocodiles.
But I am sure it must be very very interesting to be working with the animals. Us, who have desk-bound jobs, really find such jobs as yours very exotic.
But since your job would involve being outdoors a lot, did you not see lots of repigmentation. Depigmentation would be a difficult thing for you because of the sunny climate and your outdoor work.

Take care
Rashmi

hey great!! so you did have a lot of fun
i am myself a huge fan of the city
do show us some of your pictures……..

modelling, wow it would be great if you would have done that
but you must feel very good that you were asked. i would consider it a huge compliment

[rasmi]

Hi Saraswati,

Sory to hear about your depigmentation on face. I know it is devastating to have it on the face.
Why it is happening, I guess no one can tell……………vitiligo is such a disease that you dont know what pattern it may take. It is very very frustrating not to know the cause/patterns anything about it. So what can one do.

I would suggest one thing to you which mught help you in arresting the spread….diet control and exercises..
Avoid foods that trigger vit, eat healthy……..no junk food, no heavy fat, drink plenty of water, and do soem exercises.
I think following a healthy lifestyle is one thing you can do to try and arrest your vit spread.
I hope something works for you. You can email me also, if you wish to talk. Just click on the email link on the side bar

Take Care
