Answers:
You need to consult a doctor and get properly diagnosed. Then you need to work with him/her on how to treat, if in fact it is treatable. I found this article interesting, but I suspect you've read up on the subject already.

Don't rely on YA for a treatment plan; get professional help medically -- both physically and mentally -- to help you cope with this affliction.
From what I can tell, this is incurable, but many people deal with it by using self-tanners, get tatoos, and the like. Here is a link to a success story by a National Vice President in my company that has vitiligo and uses our company's self tanning products:
