For a few years now I noticed white patches on my shins. These patches started off looking like Chicken Pox scars only they're flat and the same texture as normal skin. Over time these patches have either increased in number or in size and have now started to appear as blotches on my upper leg, arms and chest.
I've also noticed that hair does not appear to grow on them. Could this be Vitiligo? I have been a sun worshipper over the years and as I'm naturally Olive skinned it does show up. I don't know if it has anything to do with Vitiligo but I also started to g grey at 19/20 and now at 38 I'd be 90% Grey if I didn't dye my hair. Any thoughts / advice would be great.

hard to say if its vitiligo. It does sound like it apart from the hair not growing on them. I have not found this to be the case. Best to stay out of the sun now
