Skip to content At Vitiligo Support Group (VSG), we believe that every story matters. We are a community-driven initiative dedicated to supporting individuals with vitiligo by offering a safe space to connect, learn, and grow.
Through peer support, education, and awareness campaigns, we aim to break stigma, celebrate confidence, and build a movement of self-love. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been living with vitiligo for years, you’re not alone—we’re stronger together.
We envision a future where vitiligo is embraced without stigma, where individuals feel proud of their skin, and where support, education, and empowerment are accessible to all. Through community connection and awareness, we aim to normalize vitiligo and inspire confidence in every person touched by it.
