  • I suggest Ayurveda Treatments. Traditional Ayurveda can control the patches without any side effects. And the medicines are completely extracted from natural ingredients. You can consult the Ayurveda doctor and know the details. Don't hesitate to get your medicine soon. 

  • That's great , Sue.  I hope it remains pigmented.

    Wishing you the best,

    Jackie

  • i advice you can choose Huahai Vitiligo Hospital. you can log in their website www.hhvitiligo.com    or you can contact me directly .

  • Ryan,

    I had the excimer laser treatment done on my face and neck. My face and neck is 95% repigmented. The laser works best on these areas. I also used Tacrolimus (not a steroid on face) which helped with process.

    I wish you well. I am 55 and just got Vitiligo last year. It has certainly been the hardest thing having even skin tone all my life. 

    However, DO NOT loose faith! Repigmentation can and does happen! Read the success stories of people who have done it. 

    • Sue,

      Congrats.  Did you try pseudocatalase?

      Also thanks for your strong positive message!

      • I use pseudocatalase cream and am repigmenting. Pseudocatalse is now classified as a cosmeceutical so it no longer requires a prescription. It's available through several pharmacies in the USA.

      • No not yet. I do plan to order the ingredients over the links you sent me recently..Thank you so much for that!

        Money has been a little tight lately since I just purchased a hand held UVB unit so I do not miss treatments while away.

        I am excited to try the psuedocatalase cream and will keep all informed of my progress!

  • Can you tell me how you can recover
  • I completely depigmented myself -- and I do not look ghostly white. Never again did I worry about my appearance of my skin.

    PS:  Now everyone thinks I'm Irish.  :o 

  • Hey there, my dermatologist gave a option, to contact with a company who made cream like foundation, but the same colour than you skin, n if u used that anyone can tell u using a foundation, the problem is really expensive around $2000 after the first the next buy is heaps cheap to made the colour is the expensive part
