no one has it in my family.. In fact I didn't believe it at first because I thought it was a minor discolouration that will clear off after a while but instead it keeps spreading

.have u talked to your doctor..it might be a reaction from medicine that did not work properly in your system.

There's more to life than worrying about not having friends or girls. I have a close friend whose girlfriend has one hand, but she's beautiful in her own way. I admire her each time I see them together. Don't take your life man, that thing you have on your lips doesn't define who you are. Those people staring at you and asking questions aren't perfect too, nobody is.

Seek medical attention. There are effective natural remedies for this ailment. Wish you the best.

Life goes on my brother, killinnot yourself.... Smile.... Don't kill yourself. All we need is your intelligent.

You can just draw a tattoo there..

I don't know if you are in Lagos but just two days ago I went to a home for the less privileged in Akoka. it's called Modupe-Cole. I met a man, 60 years of age. he can't speak, see or hear. he wasn't born that way. he was normal and even went to a private school till he was 10 years old. he's been in that home for at least 40 years. he stays on the same bed everyday. we were told that it's war just to get him to have his bath. I tried imagining what his mind would be like. I really felt pity for that man.

now back to you. you are able-bodied, a lawyer in the making, a handsome vibrant young man with a family, food to eat, money to spend and people that love you.
make a life out of yourself before you take what you can't create.

I wish I could pity u too but all my pity finished with that man and I have none left for you. next time I hear about u I want to hear how you rose above this challenge. all the best bro.

eyaa

sorry bros.

this was the reason why michael jackson decided to go white.

Better not kill yourself. We all have one 'deformity' or another. Look forward to making heaven; for in heaven, all things are made new.

mikejj:
..stop kissing any lips you won't hear ...check your family lineage if anyone has it..then start from there

You are not serious

Chill bro, there's no point being suicidal

I noticed the symptoms of Vitiligo on my lips around August last year..At first it was just a small patch but subsequently it began to spread to other parts of my lip and also outside the lower lip.

I get questions everyday asking me why my lips is like that... Some assume I got burnt by acid or fire... I'm a very confident guy so I don't really allow the insults and tantrums get to me..at least I try to hide it as much as I can.. But of recent it is becoming too much and I've told myself that if the spreading continues I would have no other option than to end my life because I cannot imagine living a life of stigma, pity and neglect.. I really can't

I have met severally with dermatologists and have bought several creams and drugs but all to no avail.. The spreading did not still stop.. Not to talk of repigmenting.

This has affected my social life in many ways, I can't boldly walk up to strangers anymore because I always have this feeling that they are looking at my lips.. I no longer have female friends and I'm always withdrawn inside my shell because of it... My self esteem is down to zero. The mere thought that I will live with this forever and it will never stop spreading has made me suicidal.

I got a camouflage tattoo but it wasn't effective upon all the pain I passed through.. Now the substance I use to cope with it is hair dye which I apply before going for my law classes in the morning ... I still wonder how I will be able to practice law with this kind of lips.

Please nairalanders help me with any advice that might be helpful to save a brother.

Don't be suicidal please.

You should be proud of your uniqueness and be accepting of yourself. Dogs with unique traits as yours are more prized why can you have this mentality?

What you have is not a defect.

Japhet04:
but the lips is having a negative psychological impact on my social life...from what I read online it would continue spreading...it is definitely going to affect my legal career. Imagine I am handling a case in court and the judge and jury are busy focusing on my Vitiligo lips... Who would want to employ me with my kind of lips

why are you thinking so bad of yourself?? Ordinary vitiligo lips? Just lookatew! Are you on a wheelchair? Do you have spinal cord injury?? Is one of your arms amputated? Dude Don't be ungrateful! Who's the judge or jury that wants to question your intelligence because of a skin condition? Stop applying any nonsense dye! Build your confidence around your flaws. Be proud of you, you're one of the rare humans with vitiligo in Nigeria, you're unique! You are your own beautiful!

By the way your lips is beautiful

The suggestion on using vit B12 and folic acid is particular interesting

Stop exposing ur self to too much sun and stop using facial cream except recommended by ur doctor.

You now GTF out of here

It actually looks good.

Embrace it and accept it, since you can't change it. Read about it and educate others too when they ask questions.

You may even start getting compliments on it as soon as you get comfortable in your own skin

mikejj:
.have u talked to your doctor..it might be a reaction from medicine that did not work properly in your system.

Nah it's not a reaction. It's just genetic. There's nothing he can do about it.

This whole body shaming thing started in recent history.. did you know many surnames we bear originated from some physical defects our ancestors had.

Then they joked about these things. And even passed the name to their children.

You will finally get tired of hiding it later. Just live your life

Exactly my submission. The lips makes you more handsome bro. Don't make it an issue.

Wait . Hope It Not What Am Thinking sha ? ;DWait . Hope It Not What Am Thinking sha ? #SCIENCE STUDENTS

wetin make lelethi khumalo (sarafina) come do?

bro learn to live with it. the real you is the you on the inside and not the container(your body)

Vitiligo isnt yout problem.. self esteem is.
See your fine boy lips you are busy worrying about ordinary vitiligo that people are using to model abroad.
You are attractive, forget this non-issue. If you see people with real problems eh? They aren't even giving their deformities any thought. Thriving and loving and living.

P.s. it is an irreversible condition. The dye just makes you look stupid. Own that bìtch and exude the confidence of a motherfùcker who knows he's the shit! Vitiligo is only as noticeable as your mind allows it be.

I see so many persons here making very ignorant and insensitive comments here about something they know little or nothing about, the pain, the struggles and the burdens it comes with.

Everything does not have to be a joke; you can try being a comedian but quit playing with sensitive issues.


OP, just brace yourself for the future and learn to handle the stares, questions and bullying with boldness. Above all, be in prayers, nothing is impossible.
