Why SkinLogs exists
"When did you first notice it?"
That was one of the first questions a doctor asked me, back in March. I had a few small patches on my skin, and I genuinely didn't know. I scrolled back through months of camera roll hoping a stray photo would tell me what my memory couldn't. Nothing did.
Without a clear timeline, I was given a cream to try for six weeks, mostly a guess, since nobody could say yet what this actually was. Six weeks later, the patches had grown and become far more visible. That's when I was referred to a specialist, and the wait for that appointment was another six weeks on top. By the time I was diagnosed with vitiligo in June, three months had passed with no real record of how fast any of it had actually changed.
Sitting across from the doctor, being asked many of the same questions again, I realized the whole visit would have gone differently with something as simple as a dated photo and a short note from day one. Not a diagnosis. Not an analysis. Just the facts, kept honestly, so I could actually answer the question instead of guessing.
That's the only reason SkinLogs exists. I built it to be the private diary I wish I'd had from the first patch: a place to note what I'm seeing, when I saw it, and what I'm trying, so the next time someone asks "when did this start," I have a real answer instead of a guess. If you've ever sat in an appointment trying to reconstruct a timeline that actually mattered, you already understand why.
The actual photo. Before I had a word for what I was looking at.
