Francesco\u2019s story, who accidentally discovered he had vitiligo and began his search for a treatment.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

In 2013, by chance, I noticed a difference in color between my face and the area around my eyes.<\/em><\/p>\n

At first I did not pay much attention to it, thinking my sunglasses were the reason for the white outline around my eyes.<\/em><\/p>\n

But one day, I remember it as if it were yesterday, during a ceremony several people pointed out this difference to me and, in particular, one woman said: \u201cYou know that\u2019s vitiligo<\/a>!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I did not even know what vitiligo was!<\/em><\/p>\n

From that day on, my search began \u2014 first to understand what vitiligo was, and then to find a doctor who could treat me.<\/em><\/p>\n

I cannot deny that when I understood what vitiligo really was, I felt terrible. I lived with the fear that it might worsen and, although I knew it was \u201conly\u201d an aesthetic issue, I also knew it would completely affect my social life and the way I related to others.<\/em><\/p>\n

So began the desperate search for a specialist who could help me; I went to countless doctors, all with different opinions and different treatments, but none of them solved my problem.<\/em><\/p>\n

Then one day, fate would have it, while reading a Facebook group, I came across the name of Dr. Menchini \u2014 my salvation.<\/em><\/p>\n

A true professional in his field, a kind, available person and NEVER superficial.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks to his treatments and my consistency in following everything he prescribed, in 2020 I recovered.<\/em><\/p>\n

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Menchini once again for his availability, kindness, empathy, and unquestionable professionalism.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
