My vitiligo story

vitiligo peter

But let's start from the beginning. It was 2016 and after a very difficult period, accompanied by deaths in the family and stress at work, I suddenly developed vitiligo. Because of the ongoing problems, I didn't attach any importance to it at the time. The first spots appeared on my fingers and genital area, then they started to spread to my knees and fists. I visited a dermatologist thinking that I would get medicine and everything would go back to normal. But that didn't happen. I only got a dismissive answer, that vitiligo cannot be treated and that I should learn to live with this disease and prepare for the fact that I will eventually be all blotchy. It may sound incredible, but in 2016, awareness of vitiligo was very low and information about it was scarce.

Honestly, I got really scared and told myself that I will do everything to stop the spread. I began intensively studying the worldwide research on vitiligo and also approached several foreign doctors who researched and treated vitiligo. I found out the options and what works for vitiligo. I also read a lot of personal experiences from people on various internet forums, whom I then contacted to ask for more information to help me stop the spread of vitiligo. Then I began to test all these experiences and findings on myself.

I completely changed my lifestyle, I started to practice sports very actively again and pay more attention to stress, because I learned that stress can be a dangerous spreader of vitiligo. In addition, I started taking many nutritional supplements and adjusted my diet. Thanks to these changes, my body gradually started to defend itself against vitiligo to the point where it stopped spreading completely. It was already the end of 2018, when I started spontaneously repigmenting my knees while on vacation by the sea in Mallorca. Later, thanks to the UVB lamp, I also repigmented the white spots on my genitals within a few months. I was really very happy that this more than two-year struggle was moving in a positive direction and that the doctor's assumptions that he diagnosed me with in 2016 did not come true.

Because of this success and enthusiasm, I was motivated to create a community of people to share my vitiligo experience with and try to help them the way I helped myself.

And so, at the beginning of 2019, this page was created, where I collected all the information and products that I tried and that I knew were helpful.
