Hello, I am a 32 year old fairly light skinned male of Irish decent. I recently went to a sunbed prior to going on holiday. Afterwards I noticed a White patch on my left cheek about the size of a quarter. I went to a dermatologist who said I have vitaligo because my facial hair was white in the affected area. My facial hair is usually dark brown / reddish. I never noticed any rash beforehand and the skin is not scaly or itchy. I am unsure about the accuracy of the diagnosis. I was not given a skin biopsy or woodlamp inspection. The doctor made the diagnosis instantly when looking at my face. The doctor prescribed me cutivarte (a mild steroid cream) and silkis cream to mix together in equal amounts and apply to the affected are twice daily. It has now been two weeks and I have noticed that: 1. my facial hair in the affected area is retiring to normal, with less white hairs each day. Though there are still a few white hairs. 2. The colour of the patch is looking much more like my normal pigmentation (there are even a few freckles in the area. I have freckles usually on my face). Given the speed with which my symptoms are restored is it likely that I have been misdiagnosed with vitaligo? I was told it usually takes 3 months to restore the pigment. Many thanks, Jonny
