I have vetiligo wanting to know if it will spread. details below..?!
Question: hey im 16, cant belive im doing this but about 7 months ago i noticed a white patch of skin on my top left ab. Soon after i got a little ring around my nipple. About 6 months passed and nothing had really changed, however just recently i noticed a patch, at least i think had started on my arm. I was just wondering since it seems to only be on my left half of the body, not big patches but 1 on my arm, 1 on my ab, and 1 on my nipple, doesnt go above the shoulders. and consumes maybe about 2% of my body. I just wanted to know if this is maybe a less serious case, that will not spread to much. My doctor said it shouldnt get to much worse but i just don't know. Its been stressing me out. Also apparently my doctor said most cases will go away on their own. Is this true?
