My beautiful daughter has it, has had it since she was a toddler. Its all over her body. BUT she has grown up it, nonchalently explains it as the opposite of freckling and rolls with it. We researched body makeup for when she got older and we thought she might want to cover the white spots up. She never did. Everyone is used to it, but ever once in a while someone new will ask her about it. She’s fair skinned but tans wonderfully and then its super noticeable. It hasnt affected her attitude, her life or her social interactions.

btw she’s had some repigmentation over the years.

I can see where vitiligo as a teenager would be hard to adjust to.
