How Can Vitiligo Around The Genital Area Be Treated?
Hello Doctor, I had a white patch 10 years ago and then it all stopped. My virtiligo appear again first on my rectum and genital area. I used steriods and saw some improvements but noticed that white milky spots are appearing on neck. Doctor recommend me to go through excimer laser treatment, which is very expensive. If i go for laser i have qiestions about that. I never smoked in my life but started smoking 3 years back. Do you see any connection in smoking? 1. Any side effect? 2. Will it cause white spots to appear on other places?
