Vitiligo?

[Margers]

Hi All! Is this really a vitiligo? Sometimes its getting itchy, but not all the time. I now about jock itck, and i have used all this antifungal creams, and Protopic for vitiligo. I can live with the white spots i guess, but that itch sometimes is preaty bad.

Itchiness is awful to deal with. Try keeping the skin well moisturised so that it doesn't dry out, and that might help, and there are also 'ant-itch' creams made by E45 and Boots that might help.

Skin is not dry at all. Its like really normal skin from outside. What do you think about that skin colour change, it that looks like vitiligo to you?

My partner's niece has vitiligo, and yes, this patchy appearance I think is characteristic. I think the British Skin Foundation has good info on it. See britishskinfoundation.org.uk//

Looks like my Dad's skin on his arms and face in patches, and that was Vitiligo.
