Vitiligo is a visible and often misunderstood skin condition, but it is so much more than what you see on the surface. It's important to know that it is not contagious, it's not a hygiene issue, and for those who live with it, it is far from just a skin-deep experience.In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Njeri and my sissy Zawadi to break down what vitiligo actually is, why it happens and why so many myths still surround it. We get into treatment options, what realistic expectations look like and the part that doesn't always make it into medical conversations: the emotional weight of living in skin that the world has opinions about.Whether you have vitiligo, love someone who does, or simply want to understand it better, this conversation is for you.Listen in!How To Reach Us:📧 Email: [email protected]📱 Instagram, TikTok & LinkedIn: @adoseofhealththepodcastConnect With Dr Njeri📱 Instagram: @nissi_njeriProduction by: @artlightstudios ⚠️ This content is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
