The Dilemma of Trying a New 'Miracle Cure' for a Highly Visible Skin Condition.
The author, who has vitiligo, a skin condition that causes patches of white skin, is conflicted about a new treatment called Opzelura that promises to re-pigment the skin. While the treatment has shown promising results, it also has potential side effects and may weaken the immune system. The author has worked hard to accept and love herself with her condition, but also acknowledges the challenges and irritations that come with it. Ultimately, she believes that self-acceptance and desire for change are not mutually exclusive, and that confidence is about being comfortable in your own choices.
