About Vitiligoshop

Let's start from the beginning. In 2016, after a very difficult period marked by family bereavements and work-related stress, I suddenly developed vitiligo. At the time, I didn't attach much importance to it, as I was already dealing with so many challenges. Initially, the first spots appeared on my fingers and in my genital area, and soon they began to spread to my knees and hands. I visited a dermatologist in the hope of receiving treatment and returning to normal, but that wasn't the case. I was met with a dismissive response: vitiligo cannot be treated, and I should learn to live with it, preparing myself for a future in which I might become entirely blotchy. It may sound incredible, but in 2016, awareness of vitiligo was very low and reliable information was hard to come by.

To be honest, I was terrified. I resolved then and there to do everything within my power to halt its spread. I immersed myself in global research on vitiligo and consulted several international experts who specialised in its study and treatment. I explored the different options available and sought out methods that could effectively address the condition. I also read countless personal experiences from others in online forums and reached out to many for additional advice and insights. Gradually, I began to test these findings and experiences on myself.

I completely overhauled my lifestyle, reintroducing regular exercise and taking measures to reduce stress—because I had learned that stress can be a dangerous catalyst for vitiligo's spread. In addition, I incorporated various nutritional supplements and adjusted my diet accordingly. Thanks to these changes, my body gradually began to fend off the progression of vitiligo until it eventually ceased spreading altogether. By the end of 2018, while on holiday by the sea in Mallorca, I noticed spontaneous repigmentation on my knees. Later, with the aid of a UVB lamp, the white spots on my genital area also repigmented over the course of a few months. I was overjoyed that my more than two-year struggle was turning in a positive direction and that the dire predictions made by my doctor in 2016 had proven unfounded.

Inspired by this success, I felt driven to create a community where I could share my vitiligo journey and help others in the same way that I had helped myself.

Thus, at the beginning of 2019, I established this page, gathering all the information and products that I had tried and found to be beneficial.
