Hi, I am seventeen years old and I was told I had piebaldism.  It%26#039;s very depressing having this condition.  A couple of weeks back I was asked by a friend if I wanted to go to the swimming baths, I said no but really I wanted to, but I don%26#039;t want to show certain parts of my body.  My real question is there a treatment were I can hide it or get rid of it.  Please help someone (anyone). 
Thank you

I%26#039;m not a dermatologist, but I share your pain.  I was online doing research and came across your question, creating an account to answer it.  I%26#039;m 25.  Dermablend is a great product, water resistant if you use the recommended powder and let it dry completely.  I am currently using UVB narrowband, it is a slow process but it is definitely working (I purchased one online from Australia~$800). It%26#039;s dangerous playing with light so definitely do your research and be careful. If I could afford the surgical route I would, as it is a 90-100% repigmentation for pie baldism.  Summer is definitely the worst, but I bet if you got the courage to share with a friend/s you trust, you%26#039;d be suprised how fast they accept.  My friends, once I finally let them (showed them) were amazing and incidently strangers seem to matter less and less.  Anyways, hoped this helped, remember it%26#039;s only skin deep...you%26#039;re still you. ~Rachel|||I too have the condition.  I dont cover up anymore just lots of good sunscreen...                          Report Abuse
