How do you feel about this girls complextion?
Does she look a bit to white or fairly normal?
I have the option of depigmenting my skin. Not everyone knows this, some of you might, but I have a skin condition that leaves me with white spots scattered around my body. It's not very fun. I spend way to much time on treatments and doing make-up to cover it up. I probably don't do that great a job at hiding it. Who knows. Anyways, my skins gotten so bad that my doctor suggested depigmentation. I'd pretty much have the same tone as the girl in the picture above.
It's a pretty big decision and it's irreversible. A real life example of someone who has done this procedure is Michael Jackson ( of all people and examples right?) I dunno. Right now I'm 80/20 for it. And I know ultimately the decision is mine but I'd love feedback. If you were in my position would you do it?
The only reason I'm considering this now is because its all over my chest, neck, face, arms and legs. My back and torso are unaffected for the most part. It'd be fantastic to wear shorts again without the fear of being judged on how I look. It'd be great to just roll out of bed and leave the house, instead of spending minutes upon minutes in the morning putting make-up on and spending countless minutes in the day touching up. It'd be great to go for a workout and not worry about sweating a little too much, 'cause the make-up ( yeah i know, make up while working out?!) might run. These are just some of the things. I feel so vain talking about these minor things, people of one skin tone take it for granted. I know I would if I never had to experience this. I'm just sick of it. But what if it's the wrong decision? What if I'm to pale? And of course, depigmenting means I'm pretty much albino, no protection from the sun what so ever. I'd have to lather up in sun tan lotion for the rest of ... pretty much forever. Getting skin cancer would be a bitch wouldn't it?
Agh, anyways, end of the explanation.
Here are some photos of people with what I have, I'm to self - conscious to actually put proof of myself.
Oh, haha, and uhh...MERRY CHRISTMAS on a ....lighter.... note?
