I have vitiligo too, but it's a lot less noticeable because I'm naturally really pale. Even still, especially in the summer (when my unaffected skin tans a little), I constantly have people asking me "what happened?" or "were you in a fire?" I really just get tired of explaining after awhile... *sigh*
It's amazing how braves she is and she is a very inspirational role model
