The woman known as Winifred posted a TikTok video online documenting her experience during pregnancy. She captured her private moments of how happy she was when she got pregnant in 2021.

She gave birth to her baby successfully in June 2022. Shortly after childbirth, she started to notice discoloration on her face. She never took it seriously until it started to spread all over her face and body.

She changed her wardrobe and started hiding her body from the public. She even nicknamed herself Native Doctor because of her skin condition. Then she began phototherapy to depigment her skin.


Here are some reactions to the video:

Vitiligo is a skin condition that causes a person to lose his or her skin color. This occurs when a person's pigment producing skin cells die or stop functioning.

Vitiligo can be caused by a disorder in the immune system, a skin problem such as sunburn, stress or heredity. There is no cure for vitiligo yet but there are maintenance treatments that can be used to reduce the rate of depigmentation in the body.
