@@waspdragon2086 i know a girl who has something like that. she has dark skin except for her eyelids and it looks like she has orange eyeshadow and it's cute
"There's always gonna be someone in the world that doesn't think I'm beautiful. And that's fine! I'm not here for everyone! I'm here for that one that thinks I'm fabulous. And that's myself."
I discovered the details in this Vitiligo guide *4VitiligoCure. Com* very helpful. I`m enduring moderate adult Vitiligo every so often and with this book, I learned the natural and other several Vitiligo remedies. I favor the natural way of treating them and I found out on this guide the solutions that work successfully.
someone once asked me if it rubs off in the shower and i asked them "Does your ugly come off in the shower?" looking back it was not that good of a comeback but i was proud.
@/vr/ Kek And who the hell asked you. When there are people who have been asked stuff like this for their entire lives and find a video that they think will help them. The LEAST you could do is show some basic desincy and respect.
@/vr/ Kek nobody cares about a disease ? I did not know that nobody cares about vitiligo , thank you for informing me about this next time someone asks me why my skin has discolored spots I'll just say "nobody cares"
I love that there is a news reader who has vitiligo. He covers it up with makeup everytime he does the news except for the 25th June (World vitiligo day). And someone said to him "it's sad that you feel that you have to cover your condition up" and his response was "I don't feel I have to cover it up, but the news isn't about me, I want people to focus on the news, not on my skin."
Well yea, I think it looks badass, hence why I left a comment saying how beautiful it is. If it didnt truly mean it I wouldn't have said it. Stop trying to bring negativity into things that aren't even negative.
You're just being pc by bum licking them, it's cool, they've got it, don't stare and don't bum lick if they're normal people, cause you don't bumlick normal people
Dude ew, also no thanks I don't want my flesh corroded either, not quite the same as having unevenly pigmented skin because you would have no skin to be depigmented or at all. Think I'll pass on the buttmunchin too, I have no plans of eating fecal matter. That will probably wreak havoc on my feeble excuse of an immune system...
People have loads of different things they think are attractive, including vitiligo. I find it attractive. I also find tattoos, freckles, and birthmarks attractive. Those are things I personally see and find visually appealing. It's subjective to everyone. I don't know why people are so obsessed with shutting people down that say they find it beautiful, as if someone with vitiligo's skin is objectively unattractive because it's "different", and saying it's beautiful is "for likes" or the "PC" thing to do. It's stupid. Should people with vitiligo not think their own skin is beautiful?? "There's always going to be someone in the world that doesn't think I'm beautiful. That's fine. I'm not here for everyone; I'm here for that one that thinks I'm fabulous, and that's myself."
One of my friend told me to try *4VitiligoCure. Com* to get rid of my Vitiligo. I tried this Program and I got great results...So I am recommending this product to all you guys....
One of my aunties has vitiligo. I never knew what it was called until well into adulthood. It was just that some parts of her skin were really white, and as I saw her each year at family reunions, it progressed and she had to start sitting in the shade more. Most people in my family (and I'm talking my gigantic extended family) have birthmarks, myself included. So as a kid, not knowing any better, I just figured it was another type of birthmark, only hers was white while mine was brown. I've had school friends and students with vitiligo, as well as some with port-wine stains. And then there's me and my brother, with an ever-growing number brown dots on our faces. In other words, I'm really surprised that people are confused by vitiligo. Even if they don't know exactly what it is, like how younger me didn't fully understand the concept, I don't know why people see it as anything other than a normal variation of skin pigmentation. People with vitiligo, port-wine stains, and other skin pigment differences have been part of my life since I was a child. I thought this stuff was so normal and average as to be unremarkable, like hair color variations. Does the average person really not know multiple people with skin pigment variety? Surely they have skin pigmentation differences on their own bodies, right? I thought skin pigmentation differences on a body was the *norm* and not the exception..?
as a person with Psoriasis(makes a large red pattern across my face and body), its nice to think that people appreciate vision difference and not just see it as a problem
To someone who's a bit face blind, I love when people stand out in some way. I find it beautiful and unique. And it makes it so much easier to recognize people.
'I didn't even notice it.' I'm guessing people say that because they're nervous and haven't really taken the time to think about the right thing to say, if anything.
Sometimes you don’t necessarily notice it right away though.. it depends on how much and the colour of your skin, like if it was a little bit on your hand or something someone might not notice immediately because, Who looks at peoples hands when talking to them...
TheMovieMyLife My bf says that to me about the vitiligo around my eyes, I get a bit angry bc I know its there I'm like "are you blind?" But I'm white af so like it probably isnt that noticeable to anyone but me..
I actually have vitiligo in my hair and growing up I was always bullied for it but I always saw it as something that kept me different. It is something I was born with and am proud to have. I’m glad other people feel that way too. Plus that guys hair is awesome!
Dude his arms look fuckin cool too, like some kind of crazy tattoo. He got lucky with it being symmetrical I think though. I mean either way, still pretty badass
I was running the register at my job when someone with vitiligo came through. I was already vaguely familiar with vitiligo, though I didn't remember the name, and I wanted to say, "your skin is beautiful." But I didn't want to make her self conscious or upset if she didn't appreciate attention brought to it, so I just stayed silent. I regret that now.
My friend in like fifth grade when I finally had the courage to wear a dress to school and show my knees: Your kneecaps look like chocolate chip cookies My confidence: *zooms through the roof of the school*
I have vitiligo thank you for sharing this I'm just starting to get lots on my back and some now on my arms and legs. I'm still getting used to people asking/staring at me. I'm glad to see such confident and beautiful people.
Hi BBC ! I'm a translator, and I would really like to subtitle this video for my French niece who has vitiligo, if you would enable community contributions!
QuagganBacon it comes down to western society feeling they are owed an explanation because of your presence. I am stopped constantly and asked why I'm in a wheelchair. People feel they have a right to know when they absolutely don't. In order to not have regular, unpleasant encounters, i explain why- but it has an impact on my self identity and my perception of the world because people do it, and it's not positive for either.
Emily C - I 100% agree with the part about PEOPLE for some reason feeling as though they're owed an explanation, simply by virtue of being curious to know the answer. It's extremely selfish and inconsiderate to put complete strangers on the spot and in a situation where they have to either give them personal details about themselves, that there's no bloody reason for them to know, lie about it/make up a story or risk appearing rude to those around and just ignore or reject them. It's ridiculous. What I disagree with is it being a western society thing... Humans are curious by nature and it's a really powerful thing too. It's driven the greatest discoveries and accomplishments of human history as well as some of the most horrific acts of torture in the name of scientific curiosity. Try going anywhere else in the world, Middle East, Africa, Asia and let me know if people there didn't as much as glance and no one asked you about it, lol. (Though I don't see why anyone would be curious about a stranger being in a wheelchair. Wheelchairs are probably the nr. 1 common thing in terms of physical disability, so it's not like it's a rare and astonishing sight.)
People: "are you black or white?" People with vitiligo: "yes" Edit: it was a perfect joke but I do see how it can be insensitive. I'm keeping it up but I'm sorry
Victoria Collins omg thanks girl I’m gonna use that ever time someone asks I’m starting highschool and I have had many people stare at me and ask me am I wearing makeip
Hello Vitiligo friends! I also have this condition about 3 years ago, hands, elbows, mouth and eyes and I love to see how the stains on each one grow differently, I think they are part of our way of being, they are like our fingerprints, unique in each one... Personally, it sprouted me for suffering from hyperthyroidism, a thyroid disease, becomes hyperactive and gives very strong anxiety and nervousness attacks, etc. So vitiligo and hyperthyroidism can be linked. Greetings from Mexico!
Lol I heard this man ask "Are you white with brown spots or are you brown with white spots?" The whole room went silent and the girl with vitaligo fell out laughing. I'm not sure if she thought it was funny or if she laughed at how ridiculous his question was.
she was probably laughing because its funny! I have it and I think its funny when my friends make jokes about it. as long as you know the person and they are confident than its probably fine to make jokes!my friends say my acid washed jeans match my body!
I've gotten "which is your normal skin tone" before lmao, I think that's funny because vitiligo attacks melanin cells so it should make sense that the darker skin is my "normal" skin, but I don't mind answering the question if it's a younger person who's never seen it before asking.
I think vitiligo is absolutely beautiful. It's different and makes you individual. I think heterochromia (where you have two different coloured eyes) is beautiful too. I love the things that make us different.
Oh wow my best friend of 14 years has heterochromia. His left eye is green and the right one is brown. We never knew what that was called before. Nice to know.
Just Peachy my mom has 2 different eyes, one is blue one is greenish brown. People say she's a husky and bark at her.. they're trying to be cute but really? Just complete strangers
My sister has vitiligo and any time someone asks her if it's contagious around me I want to tell them that the only thing they're gonna catch is these hands
Man, it's NOT funny! I think you wouldn't like to be bullied for having a skin, mental disorder or any other disability.I don't have this disease, but I was diagnosed with Asperger's and my classmates used to bully me for not being "like them". It's very hard! 😣
Blanca Rodríguez Martínez it was a joke. A joke. They weren’t saying ANYTHING offensive. They are doing wordplay with the “hotel trivago” type thing. Even they made a joke of themselves in the video.
@@Gospelwatcher it doesnt hide their physical beauty...? all their facial features stay the same. They still have the same lips, same eyes, same eyebrows, same nose, the same body shape, the same gender, and the same hair. The only difference is their skin. And considering that this is a biological condition, it IS a part of their physical beauty. Just a part you aren't willing to accept
TheRealisticSammie thank you, thank you. 💗 This comment really made my day, I try to cover mine up since I get self conscious but I guess I have to remember that some people accept me for what i have.
People with vitiligo are so beautiful! They are unique. And I find it mean when people say like are you a cow.. and it's so annoying I don't have it but I still find it rude.
I told a friend that I wish I didn't have it anymore and he said why it makes you unique. For me I think that's something you should never tell someone with vitiligo. Maybe other people appreciate it but I don't. It's so easy for someone to say it's unique and beautiful when they don't have to live it.
RileySmiley I have it.. well.. it’s a bit weird tho) I have only 2 spots, and they’re like perfect circles and instead of them being lighter, they’re darker
Vitiligo is one of the most interesting of Mother Nature’s attempts to teach us that skin color is not important! I think it’s absolutely beautiful!!! 😍💗😍💗
Michael Jackson paved the way for vitiligo to be understood more in the media. Nobody seemed to know the disease existed then and the media were horrific to him, saying he bleached his skin because he was ashamed of his race 💔 He was brave enough to talk about it live with Oprah on the most watched interview of her career. I'd be proud to be compared to him in any way
Definitely the reason I knew what it was. Its tricky though; Jackson modified so many other of his features that it wasn't an unreasonable leap to think he deliberately altered his complexion too. It's like Ozzy Osbourne's Parkinsonian tremor; it's awful how people speak about and mock him because they think oh it's drug induced impairment so it's ok. Its not ok, its not related to substance abuse, but even so it's actually not an unreasonable leap of reasoning it *could* be from that, ya know?
@@darlinportillo4492 both Mayo Clinic and MedicineNet entries on Vitiligo open with the sentence: Vitiligo is a disease. www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vitiligo/symptoms-causes/syc-20355912 www.medicinenet.com/vitiligo/article.htm#
Last year I watched this video, and I felt awful for these people. I couldn't imagine living with that condition a year ago, but last month I was diagnosed with Vitiligo. I was really upset about it, but now I'm living my best life :) Thanks so much for making this video!
“There is always gonna be someone who thinks I’m not beautiful, and that’s fine I’m not here for everyone, I’m here for that one, that thinks I’m fabulous...and that’s myself” YESSSS QUEEN😍
This is to anyone that has vitiligo, I find your skin absolutely beautiful bc it truly is, I’m sorry if anyone gives you a hard time because tbh your skin is nothing but empowering and absolutely beautiful and I just had a small question in mind I’m wondering if I complemented you guys abt it would you personally get offended ( if anyone reading this has vitiligo I’d really appreciate it if you’d reply because I find your skin so beautiful but I’m Afraid that someone would get offended or idk) Everyone is beautiful no matter the size, shape, colour, religion, ethnicity, tradition, class of society, all that doesn’t matter At the end of the day aren’t we all human? 💗
Since its on my face and neck and since I'm brown people always stare at me and ask me question. Many people always ask me those question and I'm annoyed by them. If you see a vitiligo person please don't stare at them or ask them question because at some times it can be uncomfortable.
There's a customer with Vitiligo that comes into my place of work. Wanna know what I say to her? *"Hello, did you find everything you were looking for?"* *"Did you have your coupons today?"* **exchange some funny life stories** *"Okay, thanks for shopping! Have a wonderful day!"*
I have vitiligo for ten years already. When I was young I don't have many frienIds. Many kids didn't want to talk with me because they thought I was contagious. They were insulting me. They were watching me and they were discussing me. They said many times that I am a cow. And yea.. Now I am 16 years old and learned to love my vitiligo. I met a person who really make me feel special. He tells me I am beautiful because what I am. And he loves that I am unique I am happy now. Remember You are unique and special. ❤️❤️❤️ (Sorry for my English 😊)

maybekeke No, the melanocytes stop working. Melanocytes control hair color as well as skin and eye color, so if it stops working on the scalp it affects the hair too.
Acne acne acne acne pleaseeee Edit: Some of the replies are exactly what I'm talking about. "everyone gets acne" "it's not a REAL problem." Tell me after you're done crying at the ugly skin you see in the mirror. Tell me after you spend hundreds of dollars on prescription creams. Tell me after you bleed from picking at it trying to make it go away. Don't minimize pain you've never dealt with
Jayarie not really. I'm in highschool, and I've only noticed a few other girls with acne. It's hard. It takes a real tole. It makes my social anxiety so much worse, and it's not something to scoff at. We're told to wash our face, to put on makeup, to try out "miracle cures" that eat all our money. It sucks.
'why dont you wash your face' 'have you tried *insert generic product* it works for this one person i know' 'just drink more water' 'you should wear more makeup' 'stop wearing makeup it makes it worse'. Finally with a combination of antibiotic cream and what is essentially baby eczema cream as a moisturiser due to the fact of how the cream is basically acid that dries out my skin and anything else makes me break out, i still get people like 'have you tried Clearasil' lololol
Claire Louise IKR. I was prescribed a cream that can bleach my hair and clothes it's so strong. My doctor talked about taking the birth control pill to control the hormones. I'm 14! He also talked about an acne pill so strong it will dry out my liver if I'm not careful. Yet I still get "have you tried washing your face more?*
I had a preschool teacher with vitiligo and she explained to us and it seems completely normal to me. When I see someone with it I really don’t think anything of it because I was introduced to it as such a young age. That teacher was the nicest lady I’ve ever met.
