Possible vitiligo

2018-01-07 19:32:36
I’ve noticed two light spots on my left knee and one light spot on my right knee. I’m dark skinned and the spots aren’t completely white they’re just a few shades lighted than my skin tone. I knotice these spots maybe one to two years ago. I wanted to know if I have vitiligo.
