    Frequently Asked Questions    
    I am still at school. Can I join the Society?   What does autoimmune mean?
    I really can't bear the way people stare at me when I go out. Is there anything I can do to hide the patches?   How can I help to support the Society?
    How can the Society support people who become members?   How can it be genetic? No one in my family has vitiligo.
    Is there treatment for vitiligo? I was told that nothing could be done for it   My child has vitiligo. Should we talk about it or is it better to pretend I haven't noticed it.
    I wasn't born with vitiligo. If it's not infectious, why have these patches appeared?   Why did my doctor ask about other diseases in my family?
    I love fresh air and I work out of doors. Do I need to take any special precautions to protect my skin?   Should I become a member of the Vitiligo Society? 
    But why did my doctor suggest that I should have a thyroid test?   If I have vitiligo, what are the chances that my children will get it?
    Can Vitiligo be caused by chemical exposure?
