BBC Three - MisFITS Like Us, Series 1, Vitiligo

If vitiligo is ruining your life, can strangers change the way you live for ever?

Strangers with the same condition are brought together to help them change their lives. A woman who is anxious about her vitiligo spends time with others who also have it.

Twenty-six-year-old Aisha has had vitiligo, a skin disorder, since the age of eight. She is so anxious about her condition that she won't leave the house or even open the door unless she has covered the white patches on her skin with heavy make-up.

She is joined by a group of strangers who all have vitiligo, but unlike Aisha, they are more accepting of their condition and getting on with their lives. Having never spent time with anyone like her before, Aisha is hoping it will help her overcome her insecurities. Will strangers with the same condition help her build the confidence to step outside and feel the wind on her face for the first time in years?
