i have vitiligo. it decided to pop up in my bikini line like this a year or two ago 😩 they're part of why I haven't gotten sexual with a guy yet. they make me feel so ugly. I hate them and i already hated my vulva without them. opinions?

Question

Answer

I have it on my arm and I like to think of it like a natural tattoo. Yours looks like a butterfly! I would say try to embrace it and if a guy doesn't like it then be glad you avoided a douche bag!

Answer

I've always believed that if you're going to be sexual with someone you need to fully trust them not to judge you. They don't deserve to be with you if they can't deal with something like that. I don't think it looks bad. Maybe I'm weird but it's kind of cute. You're human not a Barbie. "Imperfections" are cute.

Answer

Hun you are beautiful, love the skin you're in. Look at Winnie Harlow who is a famous woman with vitiligo embracing her uniqueness and making people aware of the skin condition. I think the patterns on your skin are like art but you need to learn to accept and love yourself. It takes work, but it is possible to really love your body and feel confident.

Answer

I had it on my vagina since I was a baby (genetics from my dad) then it went a way, came back again when I was in middle school, then popped up on my boob and never left. I tried laser therapy and creams which worked a tiny bit, but now I could care less it's so minute. I'm sure that's the last thing a man would care about 😅😂🤣. Trust me.

Answer

I've had vitiligo around my eyes for 23 years now and it pops up at the corners of my mouth every now and then(I've had them for maybe 4 years now) and everyday I wonder if people are looking at me because of my vitiligo or because they think I'm attractive. I get the insecurity completely. At the end of the day though you have to think of how it's a part of you. It's like a freckle or mole and sure it's in a place that your SO would very visibly see when you're gonna have sex but if he is going to be turned off by that then why would you even want them in your life??

I don't have to see what you look like to know you're a beautiful person and deserve someone to love you despite your imperfections.  The confidence takes time but just remember that the vitiligo is a part of you and it's only going to make you stronger and the right person will love you despite it and will also want to do all of the sex stuff with you!! Haha 💗

Answer

I have it on my nipples and I completely understand that feeling. But I have noticed that the less I care, the more I realize that no one else does. My SO didn't even ask me about it, or comment. My brother has it too on his face so he asked why my brother (who is only 27) has red facial hair but a patch of white so that's when I explained the condition to him. I also have a large patch on my sternum and a circle around my right eye and he was more curious as to why I have a few white eyelashes on one eye than anything else. Take a breath, and realize that they really don't care as much as you think they do. You are your harshest critic. And if someone is going to hate on something you have absolutely no control over then onto the next one!
