Vilitigo or white patches on skin
I have it when I'm 5-6yrs and go through some hard medicine that feels horrible internally and mentally as well.I have some patches in hand and legs which I managed to cover by lengthy cloths as it's manageable to hide. As per I know I don't have such family members who had or have this disease. If it possible to cure please tell me the details. I'll be greatful. :)
