What is an effective treatment for vitiligo?


My wife has small vitiligo spots (white spots with no skin pigmentation) on her legs. They are minor but they make her very self conscious, and she has to use coverup makeup whenever she wears a skirt that hits near or above her knees. Also, no Micheal Jackson jokes. She is using an herbal supplement called Kalawala, but if it is working, it is extremely slow. Does anyone know of any other treatments that have been shown to be effective?

hi are you shur its vitiligo?
have she seen a dermatologist?
not all tiny spots are vitiligo.
i have vitligo and i get tinea versicolor usually in the summer.
check our tinea versicolor and see if its similar to what your wife has.
as for covering it up, sorry there are hardly any cures for vitiligo and some remedies take months even years with no progress at all

i tried using make up too, it doesnt work, shell just have to get over it, i have it on my knees and feet and trust me i hate wearing shorts in summer and im only 19.
so when summer gets here im going to be a little shy but ill get over it, because hey dont worry about what other people think, no one is perfect!
good luck!

I have vitiligo and over the years haven't heard of anything that works. Your wife might just have to embrace the fact that she's a little different. She needs your encouragement and acceptance.
Be sure she wears sunblock since she has no melanin in those places, but I know that's hard to remember!
