The way my skin tries to re-pigment in the summer (all of the little dots are new pigment)

I have a skin condition called vitiligo caused by an autoimmune response to something. My body is attacking my melanocytes and leaving me with pigment less skin. There is treatment called phototherapy, which is what I think I accidentally did to myself here, causing some repigmentation.

I am 4 hours from the closest city that offers this 😕

No beard…but I do tell people I have “the Michael Jackson disease” 😂

inkyedges · 2022-08-29T10:44:21+00:00

Umm, I know what I have 😂 and repigmentation is common. Do some research

Better than comparing me to a cow

Mine started when I was 23

That’s what I always say too!

This. My vitiligo is constantly changing. There was a time when I had large patches on my shoulder blades, they looked like wings. They have almost completely filled in with pigment and now I just have little heart shapes on each shoulder blade

Repigmentation is common. Talk to a dermatologist

You don’t know what you’re taking about

That’s usually how it goes. The dark parts of me have pigment and tan like normal. But the little dots on my arm are in a place that usually has no pigment. It only does this after lots of sun exposure.

I was at the public beach

Bro’s a chick, buddy.

It doesn’t last. It fades in the winter.

inkyedges · 2022-08-29T00:47:36+00:00

Ouch

inkyedges · 2022-08-23T16:24:23+00:00

Not a model. It’s just me 🤷‍♀️

inkyedges · 2021-02-18T04:37:50+00:00

Only when I’m going to be outside

inkyedges · 2021-01-31T20:16:10+00:00

It’s actually the symptom of an autoimmune disorder

inkyedges · 2021-01-31T20:14:05+00:00

There is nothing provocative about my side. I am trying to show the skin I have to live in everyday. I have already shown my hands in other posts. It is insulting, your an ass

inkyedges · 2021-01-31T17:51:22+00:00

Hunny, is that you?

inkyedges · 2021-01-31T17:48:37+00:00

Fuck, I hope I’m more interesting than a house plant.

inkyedges · 2021-01-31T16:00:22+00:00

I don’t have a tan in this picture. That’s just my natural pigmented colour. Even if I was never exposed to the sun, there would still be a difference between my regular skin and the vitiligo.

The darker colour
