Doctor misdiagnosed my vitiligo as yeast infection

As a kid I was told by a doctor my vitiligo was a yeast infection on my skin? I'm quite pale so we didn't notice it much until I started spending more time outdoors (8 y/o approx.) My doctor told me I could rub dandruff shampoo like Head & Shoulders into the spots to make them go away. Has anyone else had this or something similar happen??
