‘Coronation Street’ star speaks out after shocking symptom
Georgia May Foote shared how her life has changed since she found out she had vitiligo.
The former Coronation Street actress first noticed two small white spots on her chest in 2020. She knew something was wrong, but it took time before she got the right answer.
Georgia played Katy Armstrong on the soap from 2010 to 2015. She said she first went to get the spots checked, but was told she had a different skin problem.
The star, however, did not feel that was the right answer so she asked for more help. She was later told she had vitiligo, but said she was sent home without any help.
Since then, the white spots have spread to her hands, arms, legs, stomach and face. Georgia added that seeing the changes has not been easy.
Her face, meanwhile, is hardest part for her because people sometimes stare and make comments about her skin.

She also said her feelings change from one day to the next. Some days she finds it hard to accept the condition, while on other days she feels happy with her skin.
Georgia has been waiting for light treatment for a year as she now wants more people to understand that vitiligo is not just about how a person looks.
