"I love my individuality. Now I feel people talk to me, not just my skin"

Trish Adudu on BBC CWR

Available for over a year

A cream that restores skin pigment could be available soon on the NHS if UK experts approve it. What's been dubbed as a "miracle cream" for those with the skin condition vitiligo has proved controversial. It carries potential serious side effects and some have questioned whether vitiligo should be celebrated rather than masked or corrected. BBC CWRs Trish Adudu has been speaking to Coventry Entrepreneur Vishal Chohan who has had the skin condition since he was 10.
