I love the communication between people on this site, but let’s keep 2 points in mind:
1. giving advice about cures is a big responsibility because some people are fragile about their condition and that carries high hopes for a cure. So please, if you propose a product show photo’s of the successful results.
2. caveat emptor…buyer beware. before rushing out to try a product suggested as a vitiligo cure, ask for proof that it has worked on other clients…a photo would be preferable to a glowing written review. keep in mind that if there were a miracle cure out there, every dermatologist in the country would be clamoring to have it for sale in their office. Not to mention the fact that the company who produced such a product would contact every vitiligo society in the world to endorse their product.
That said, I know that there are methods which can be used to help repigment skin (e.g. a combination of b12, folic acid, and sunlight, or narrow band uvb treatments, or changing your eating habits, to name a few), and you just have to find the right one for you. no one knows what activates vitiligo, so any number of factors could change the results from one person to another.
thank you so much to everyone who leaves comments here…it truly makes me happy to see us all trying to help one another.
Hi everyone!
well right now im 16 yrs old…i’ve had vitiligo since I was about 9 Im guessing…but every day I try to thank God, because the vitiligo that I have..has stayed the same for 7yrs..I have it all over my body: eyes(just a bit, I cover it w/makeup),ankles (only 1, i cover it w/bandaids), waist (2 big ones..but people dont see them because they’re under my clothes)
I would if you could please tell me where could I find that vitiligo cover cream…i wonder if that helps you hide your white patches…I dont want to feel left behind or that I am less than the rest of my friends!
thanks a lot!!
Hi all – I have found dermatologists quite hopeless when it comes to understanding how much vitiligo impacts on people who have it. My specialist had no idea whatsoever of any naturopathic alternatives to synthetic treatments either. I am pleased that people are willing to share their experiences, since there is otherwise no source of alternative information . Even though some of the ideas being shared here may ultimately prove to be useless, this kind of knowledge-sharing may ultimately lead to a safe and effective treatment. So, thanks to those who are willing to share their experience instead of trying to market it to a drug company for personal profit. Jason.

Hi Natalie
what kind of cover lotion do u use
Hi Laura,
Yeah pictures can be fake, but I have yet to come across a site which sells products to help vitiligo who actually show results; however, i know it’s a simple thing to do. My cover lotion doesnt cure vitiligo, but it does a great job of blending the white patches in with your normal skin tone and I put photo’s up to show the results. If I can take such a simple action, any company can…if the product does what they promise.
all the best,
nathalie
to be honest–can’t pictures on the web be fakes, too?
