Vitiligo patients picnic for greater awareness and understanding of the skin condition
Anny Silva in the LINDA
Anny Silva (55) has been living with the skin condition vitiligo for almost 25 years. “But I only just realized that it can affect more than your skin,” she tells LINDA.
Anny discovered the first traces of vitiligo in herself 23 years ago. She is then 32 years old. “I discovered the first spot above my eye. I really thought: wow, what is this? That little spot also seemed to get bigger and bigger. Coincidentally, I had just seen someone on television who was just as dark as me and turned completely white in a short time. All I could think was: this is terrible.”
She decides to go to the dermatologist. “He said to me: 'Well, you have vitiligo. There's nothing you can do about that.' I was referred to a beautician. There I was given a jar of camouflage make-up and that was it. I felt so lost and alone then.”
