A treatment for Vitiligo?

Hi, I need to know how to cure Vitiligo as soon as possible. If anyone knows a cure please let me know , thankyou,.

The normal treatment regime is a topical (cream) that you apply to affected areas, they are several different types (depending on the severity or frequency of the spots), but they are by prescription only. Depending on how severe your situation is, it might make the most sense to see a dermatologist.

If you prefer to try something without seeing a doctor, at home treatments include using sunscreen or applying cosmetic camouflage cream, which may improve the appearance of your skin. For fair-skinned individuals, avoiding tanning can make the areas almost unnoticeable.

Good luck!

Definition

Vitiligo is a skin condition in which there is loss of pigment (color) from areas of skin, resulting in irregular white patches that feel like normal skin.


Treatment

Vitiligo is difficult to treat. Early treatment options include the following:

Exposure to intense ultraviolet light, such as narrow-band UVB therapy
Medicines taken by mouth such as trimethylpsoralen (Trisoralen)
Medicines applied to the skin such as:
Corticosteroid creams
Immunosuppressants such as pimecrolimus (Elidel) and tacrolimus (Protopic)
Repigmenting agents such as methoxsalen (Oxsoralen)

Skin may be grafted or removed from normal areas and placed into areas of pigment loss. In the future, skin pigment cells may be grown in the laboratory and used to treat areas of vitiligo.

Several manufacturers produce cover-up makeup or skin dyes to mask vitiligo. Ask your health care provider for the names of these companies.

In extreme cases when most of the body is affected, the remaining pigmented skin may be de-pigmented. This is a permanent change and is a last resort.

It is important to remember that skin without pigment is extremely susceptible to the sun's damaging effects. Be sure to apply a high-SPF sunblock and use appropriate safeguards against sun exposure.

Good luck.
