The Truth About Vitiligo


Listen Later

Vitiligo is a skin condition where the immune cells attack the cells that make pigment, resulting in white patches on the skin. Just like with so many chronic skin conditions, each person’s experience with vitiligo is unique. Some people just have a few small patches, while others have more widespread depigmentation.  For those who have just received a diagnosis or are struggling with self-acceptance, the journey may feel overwhelming at first. Vitiligo may change how someone looks, but it doesn’t change who they are inside. By accepting themselves, people with vitiligo can live openly and beautifully, just as they are. This journey can turn challenges into successes, allowing them to shine in their own special way!

 

Tune into this week's recap episode, where I share key insights from the latest podcast episode featuring LaTrese Coyt.



Key Takeaways:

  • Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin condition where the immune cells attack the cells that make pigment, resulting in white patches on the skin.
  • Treatment options for vitiligo include topical steroids, calcineurin inhibitors, Jack inhibitors, and narrow band ultraviolet B therapy.
  • There is no cure for vitiligo, but treatments can help suppress the immune system and promote repigmentation.
  • Latrice Coit, a vitiligo patient and advocate, shared her experience and gave advice on self-appreciation, knowledge, inspiration, and networking.
  • It is important to seek support and connect with others who are going through the same condition.
