I’m 53 years old now,

and I’ve spent 12 of those years living with vitiligo.

When the white patches first appeared,

I thought they would simply go away.

But that was just the beginning.

I tried treatments,

faced confusion and despair,

and had to rebuild my confidence from scratch.

At some point,

I realized healing meant more than just medical treatment.

It meant understanding—

my body, my mind, what I ate, where I lived, how I handled stress...

So I chose not to give up.

It took time.

But slowly, change came.

This photo is just a small piece of that journey.

If you’re walking a similar path,

I want you to know this:

You are not alone.

And real healing is possible.

I’m from Korea

Even though I’m not fluent in English, I hope my story can give someone strength, comfort, or a little bit of hope
