I think I have vitiligo


[Bl...]

Recommended Posts

I noticed some depigmentation on my face, white spots... I am scared it might be vitiligo, and not sure if this will go away or worsen.

This is ruining my life. I am very depressed because of this.

Hi Blossom.

 

We all tend to extra worrying about our health as a part of the withdrawal and recovery process. It would be a good idea to make a doctor’s appointment and find out what’s going on. Even if it is vitiligo, there are treatments.

 

Take care,

From what I know, u. CAn Have them shine a woods lamp light to diagnose. If depigmentation, then u can try protopic or elidel plus natural sunlight. Not steroid because there’s side effects with that

I’ve noticed some white spotting on my arms and legs too. Crazy. Could this be benzo induced? That would be nuts.

Yes! I figured it out...it’s apparently due to the hormone MSH.

You can google it and read about it, it’s so weird... apparently it’s only hypopigmentation
