I am 32 years old. I first developed vitiligo on my face when I was 17. It isn't very noticeable. The "washes" of de pigmentation on my face have been unchanging for many years. The vitiligo on my chest has worsened slightly but my case is not bad compared to others I've seen. I am not treating the vitiligo.
