Suggest Treatment For Vitiligo
I recently was diagnosed with Vitiligo. It started coming out in my hands, armpit, and neck. I'm very concerned. It does not run in the family at all. Im 42 years old and beleive to be in great physical condition. I excercise everyday, I eat healthy, I have no illnesses or problems at all. Should I try this Vitiligo Organics Im reading about? Will it work?

Vitiligo treatment is usually done in 2 stages
First to stop its progression by using oral immunosuppressants
Second For repigmentaion -
Medical-topical tacrolimus and steroids and exposure to Narrow Band UVBrays.
Surgical- Split Skin Grafting & Melanocyte transplant(Epidermal cell
suspension)
Surgical options are only available after stability of lesions at least for 6 months
I would suggest you to go visit a dermatologist and go for a scientific based treatment
