See those brown āfrecklesā on my arms or the couple brown dots on my hands or the lighter brown patches on my thighs? Thatās the remaining pigment. Where did the rest go? My body, through an autoimmune disease or disorder, chooses to attack my skin and destroy the pigment. There are no certified treatments and there is no cure. It doesnāt hurt, it just means I need very high SPF anytime Iām outside because the outer layer of our skin has cells that contain the pigment melanin. Melanin protects the skin from the sunās ultraviolet rays. No melanin equals no protection. People always stare and ask if Iāve been burned or if I write on myself. Iāve heard it all. Itās taken me so long to love my body as I am. You all have given me so muchh courage. Thank you for helping me love me. š
