    I understand your frustration, I have vitiligo on the left side of my chest, just remember that there is hope, and that you can pull through the self-consciousness. When I first was diagnosed, I was really mad and sad, but then I thought to myself, "I'm not going to die because of this and it's not painful, and it just might go away," so I would not stress to much, as it can make your vitiligo worst. Have you tried the laser treatment? because I've heard of many succession rates, and I'm going to try it too.

    I know exactly how you feel and i felt like you did the first year i found out i had it. Self confidence doesnt just come it took me realizing that i was letting vitiligo change me when all along i was still me. Once that happened it didnt matter to me if i was one color or two because some that the vitiligo can never change is who I am deep down inside. I really hope one day you to can get that confidence to let your wonderful self shine. You just got to be willing to let go of what others think just know that you will always be you. Good luck!

    Hi Jaishree, whilst I don't have vitiligo (I am researching it for my work) I do have severe facial scarring from teenage acne, so I do relate to what you're saying you have experienced and needing to find self confidence when living with it. There are quite a few new medical treatments out there but some are really very new. In my opinion that doesn't mean they cannot be taken seriously, but it does mean you need to be cautious and ask lots of questions of each medical director, before making any commitment. Hang in there!
