Georgia May Foote: Vitiligo is 'getting to me'

Actress Georgia May Foote, recognized for her role in Coronation Street, has openly discussed her ongoing struggle with vitiligo. She recently shared a new image of her skin with followers, admitting the condition is significantly affecting her. The autoimmune disorder causes patches of skin to lose pigment, and Foote noted it has been spreading rapidly, accompanied by intense itching.

Foote expressed her dismay over the slow progress of her treatment. She recounted being referred for phototherapy over five years ago but has yet to receive it, citing administrative hurdles. This lack of timely medical intervention has left her feeling disheartened about managing her condition.

Vitiligo, a chronic condition where pigment-producing cells are destroyed, can affect any part of the body. Foote, who first revealed her diagnosis in 2022, has spoken about its emotional toll and the constant appearance of new spots.
