death start spiritually b4 physically & ur conclusion on this matter is wrong.there people that go to church & even work in the workforce that there hart is far far from God,& there are some that even rebel against God that doesn't hv vitiligo,so what do u say about them?
Vitiligo is said to be a genetic disorders that affect the pigmentation of the skin colour,which there many things that triggers it,such as stress, bad diet & some are even inherited (born like that). So it doesn't min that if a person hv vitiligo is sign of evil.
ahhh OK I see where you took offence. i said it was symbolic meaning that person is being used to make a statement. the statement is being made to those with eyes to see. so basically the person with vitiligo is like a walking advertisement for those with eyes to see. meaning not every spiritually dead person will have it. just the message board wink

This right here is Winnie Harlow, a Canadian model, spokesperson and activist. She gained fame and popularity as one of the participants on the 21st Edition of the Television series America’s Next Top Model. She is well-known for her prominent form of the skin condition – vitiligo.

Vitiligo is a condition where pale and white patches develop on the skin due to insufficient melanocytes that produce melanin. Lack of the pigment melanin in the integument causes vitiligo. Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes and it is responsible for giving the skin its colour – black, white, plum e.t.c.

Vitiligo is not limited to one particular part of the dermis; it can affect any area of the skin. It commonly occurs on the face (around the mouth and eyes), neck, hands (fingers and wrists), armpits, pubic region and even in skin creases- palmar especially.

The thin dermis is more vulnerable to sunburn so it is necessary to be precautious when in the sun. Lack of melanin in these vulnerable areas can turn the hair volume to white or grey.

A common characteristic is the fact that it does not cause dryness and discomfort but the patches may get scratchy once in a while.

Vitiligo varies from person to person. The patches are wider and not evenly distributed. Other people get small and thinner white patches that meet across larger parts on the skin.

Vitiligo is triggered by some events such as stress especially during childbirth, skin damage such as severe suburn or lesion (cut). A common trigger is the one of chemicals, especially those that work in chemical sites and laboratories.

It can never be contacted by touch or transmitted as an infection.

Vitiligo could be diagnosed;

there is a history of it in the family.
there is a history of other autoimmune conditions in the family.

I suggest you google about vitiligo and the cream before quoting out of ignorance, till date I still have patches on my leg,and mind you ,I was diagnosed by a doctor.I dont know why people like you always claim to know what they have no idea of,and by the way vitiligo is hyper pigmentation, so all the cream does is to help the area secret more melanin,like someone said up there, it is a corticosteroid cream
