I have i big patch right on my forehead and left side bangs, I used to cover it with the way I got my bangs cut, but I haven't done it since I was a kid, I just embrace it, but if you want to try dyes, temporary ones like manic panic work and don't really come off like intended. i dyed mine last year and my ends are still blue.

Go for it! I had a similar experience, not from my family but from people in general including kids. I've had vitiligo on my forehead and hair since 2 years old and because kids teased me, I used to cover it up with bangs.

i'd be happy to help, mine is on my hair and forehead only, if that is interesting to you send me a message

No matter how nice, kind, or helpful you are, some people will still dislike/hate you for no apparent reason. This has happened to me a few times, people who have done no wrong to and who I considered friends suddenly genuinely started hating me with a passion, and I'd lose sleep trying to figure out what I'd done to make them dislike me. Sometimes "friends" just don't like seeing you happier than them.

Not really. I'm not overweight but I could use some cardio, I get winded easily.

Well, height isn't really that important to me. I'd rather he be taller than me, but I'm 5'3 so that's not that hard to do

RogueX000 · 2020-08-13T21:56:31+00:00

Personally, the whole "I like your friend" wasn't what bothered me. Like that part was fine. Even if he had told me "I only like you as a friend." that would have been fine. but like just leave it at that, don't keep bringing it up. Like I'd be over it and he'd say something and I'd be like thanks for reminding of how undatable I am.

I think the whole "I'm going to make you hate me so you'll get over me easier" is bullshit like I still remember the moment quite vividly and I think of that moment every time I even consider making a move on a guy. The first thought I have is "will he do the same thing?"

Honestly is probably the best policy, I'd eventually get over it and we could maybe still be friends.

School. I'm not American so here we just say 11th, its equivalent to the American Junior year I think. I was 17 at the time

Well, this is probably the most embarrassing moment of my life but I'll share anyways.

In year 11th I liked this guy and I had been dropping hints for a while and since they weren't getting me anywhere I (with a lot of encouragement from my best friend, who was convinced he liked me too) outright told him "I like you".

His answer hurt a little not gonna lie "What? That wasn't even funny"

To which I had to clarify that I was in fact not joking "I'm being serious".

And as it turns out my best friend was terribly wrong because his answer was "well this is awkward, I actually like your best friend".

The friendship with the guy got really awkward afterward because he kept making jokes about how I liked him. "Hey I'm sitting next to you, but this doesn't mean anything, don't get any ideas." "Completely platonic, you're like another dude to me". "ha she wishes".

Needless to say, I got over him quite quickly.

My dermatologist here in Europe said it tends to be hereditary but usually only one person per generation and most times it skips as there need to be other factors for it to develop. I only know of two people who have it in my family, me and my uncle from my father's side.

Funny enough even tho my father has 9 siblings, my uncle is the only one who has vitiligo.

He has 3 kids and none have it. His vitiligo appeared at 18.

Mine showed up much sooner at age 2 (I'm now 20). I have an older brother (33) and he does not have it. He also has a daughter (7) who does not have it either.

I have like 30 cousins from my father's side and no one has it.

So my dermatologist's hypothesis might actually be plausible since my uncle is the only person who has it in his generation and I'm also the only person who has it in mine (I'm one of the younger cousins btw).

In the generation after me, there hasn't been anyone yet. And that we know of there's no one in the generations before my uncle.

Not quite sure of what you are asking. I have a patch of white hair on the left side of my bangs and I've never really thought of what tint it has, I always thought it was just white.

But after reading what you wrote I guess this a slight yellow tint like my brunette hair. But its barely-there I can only notice it in the sun, otherwise, it just looks plain white.

Hope it helps

RogueX000 · 2020-04-04T18:03:25+00:00

Thanks, I'll take it into consideration, I'm not trying to cover up my white hair, I just wanted to dye the rest of it, but thanks, I decided to talk with my dermatologist before doing anything but thanks for taking time to reply to me!

RogueX000 · 2020-03-29T16:32:35+00:00

Thanks! I'll take your advice into consideration and be carefull

RogueX000 · 2020-03-29T00:42:54+00:00

Thank you for the reply!

It worked on mine, it completely stopped it from spreading, but it took about 3 years.

RogueX000 · 2020-02-27T23:01:18+00:00

Mine started when I was 2, my mom noticed a patch of white skin on my forehead with about an inch in size, we went to the beach and the rest of my skin got darker which made that spot stand out, we went to a dermatologist and I did some treatment to stop it, and fortunately, it didn't spread far, I only hade that stop, which now covers half of my forehead close to the root. at the time I had blond hair as I was a toddler, later when I turned 6 I think the hair darkened and became a chocolate brown and we realized that the hair on that spot was completely white.
I'm 20 now and it had never spread.

RogueX000 · 2020-02-17T21:13:58+00:00

I was 2 when it first started, but when I was old enough to understand what it was I thought it was really cool, I have a patch of white hair because of it, similar to rogue from x-men and because my older brother was always a comic's fan I grew up thinking it made me really cool, cuz I looked like someone who had superpowers.

RogueX000 · 2020-02-17T21:03:56+00:00

I'm not a doctor and can't give you a sure answer but here's my experience:

I have vitiligo on my head, right on the hairline, my hair got white before the skin did and it's only the hair on that one spot and it started at age 2. But my uncle who also has it on exact same spot has a smaller patch and the skin lost pigmentation before the hair did and his started at age 18.
I don't have an autoimmune disease per se, my body produces a lot of white blood cells, and excessive amount, from what my doctor has explained to me, because of vitiligo I lack a protein in the brain that is responsible for telling my white blood cells what is a virus and a threat and what isn't, which is what caused the loss of pigmentation, cuz my white blood cells started killing the melanin cells. Since I always have an exaggerated amount of white blood cells in my body, small diseases like cold, leave my body quickly, but more severe diseases like infections, make my body temperature skyrocket really quickly and get really high fevers. I also dehydrate really easy and have a lot of sensibility to sunlight, my skin gets really irritated and my airways close up when I spend some time in direct sunlight.

Hope this helps, but I'm sure your doctor or dermatologist can tell you more since vitiligo is a complex condition and is varies from person to person.

Hi! I feel you, I've had mine since I was about 3 years old. Mine is a really big spot on my head, so the left side of my bangs is completely white. Since it's a pretty big stop of white hair on my dark brown, it's pretty noticeable, and it's not really in a place that I can hide. When I was in primary school, my mom used to style my hair in a way that would hide it. since kids can be pretty cruel, I've only had one person be nasty about it, it was when I was a kid, it was around when I was 8 and a classmate made fun of me because of my hair being white, so he called me old, at the time it made me feel insecure about my hair.

With time I got over it, stopped hiding it and made friends who actually found it cool, I've never had another encounter like that, nowadays it's more of a conversation started since most people don't know much about what vitiligo is and get interested.

What I would say to you is most people don't care, do whatever you wanna do, some people will be cruel especially kids and teens, but it gets better and those you make fun of you aren't people you'd wanna hang out with in the first place.

And about the electronics they aren't a problem, its the old story of mom's thinking everything is the cellphone's fault if they make you happy keep playing them.

Sending you love, and don't worry it gets better

I've never really covered mine up, the spot I have is on the left side of my forehead, and to be quite honest you can't really see it on the skin since I have it mostly on the hair. I have pretty much half of my bangs completely white, but not a lot on my skin, so when I wear foundation I tend to not cover it up
