I have found that the new "mineral powder" makeups work wonders for both hiding the wounds (when we want to be sociable) and for drying them out. The one I use is Sheer Cover (I have NO affiliation with this product!, and I know there are other similiar offerings out there). It has been a godsend in allowing me to go to out when necessary........I have been able to hide the wounds pretty well with it. It comes with a cream foundation, and a powder to dust on top. It works so well, my in-laws and co-workers have not really been aware of the significance of the disease.

Also, I have found that warm/wet seems to be a negative "breeding ground" for this stuff. I would highly recommend that everyone use the coldest water possible when washing the skin, and avoid warm soaks. Although initially soothing, I have found that it is worse in the long run. Just a thought.

Thats a great idea there! People who have blocthes or Vitiligo have used conceler makeup with great success. They may not help the sickness but do wonders for a person's emotinal state. I should know, a buddy of a buddy of mines, deals with Vitiligo.

PS: amindincolorado great idea for a post!
