Takeisha Archbald has vitiligo, which leaves her with white patches-says "women are not supportive, men find it attractive"

A woman with a rare skin condition has said that her patchy skin tone leaves men weak at the knees - and women sick with envy.

Takeisha Archbald - known as Archie - is African-American, but has white patches covering her nose, lips, breasts, knees and back.

Takeisha says "men love my skin"

The 37-year-old was diagnosed with vitiligo , a condition that makes the skin lose its normal pigment and develop pale marks.

While many women would dread to have the eye-catching condition, Archie loves the attention and loves flaunting her white bits.She said: “Men love my skin. They come up to me all the time and ask to kiss my white spots or tie my shoes.

"Women often come up to me and tell me I should cover myself up or get medical treatment"

“They call me exotic and beautiful. I love it.”

But although Archie has plenty of male admirers, she often finds that women are not as flattering.

She said: “Women often come up to me and tell me I should cover myself up or get medical treatment.

"I find it really offensive – they seem more bothered by my vitiligo than I am.”
