If you have vitiligo, you may have gotten a confused look from time to time.
It's time to set the record straight, though. So tell us, what's something you wish people knew about vitiligo?
Maybe you want more people to know that it's not something to be ashamed of — even if it was hard for you to accept it at first.
Or maybe you wish they knew that it's not contagious, it's not caused by stress, and it's certainly not an STI.
Maybe you wish people knew that it might be an autoimmune disorder.
Or perhaps you wished more people who stared at you actually asked you about it.
We want to hear your story.
Whether you've had it for only a short time or for many years, tell us what you wish people without vitiligo knew about your condition, and maybe even include how you came to realize what people should know — if you remember.
