Vitiligo is a chronic condition that causes areas of skin to lose their color. The medical term for the loss of skin color is depigmentation.
Many treatments are available to help restore skin color or even out skin tone. Results vary and are unpredictable. Some treatments have serious side effects. So your doctor may suggest that you first try improving the appearance of your skin by applying self-tanning products or makeup.
If you and your doctor decide to treat your condition with a drug, surgery or therapy, the process may take many months to judge its effectiveness. And you may have to try more than one approach or a combination of approaches before you find the treatment that works best for you. Even if treatment is successful for a while, the results may not last or new patches may appear.
There is no cure for Vitiligo yet. Nobody really knows the exact cause of Vitiligo. Homeopathy might control the spread of Vitiligo in earlier and mild cases. I am taking homeopathic medicine since past 1 year, the spread has halted to some extent. White spots on my face, below nose, finger has not responded at all. I have also taken Vitamin B and Vitamin D supplement for 2 months and it did not help at all. I have also applied Virgin Coconut Oil and Aloe Vera Gel in the affected spots. It did not work as well. Big White Patches, white spots on finger tip, lips and around noses might not get cured by Homeopathy. A friendly advice to you is to do proper research and read reviews before starting the treatment anywhere. Nobody assures or guarantee you that you will get cure permanently.
