Hi, I am suffering from Vitiligo from past 3 years. Initially the spots which I have got disappear. But in last 6-8 months some new spots appear , near my right ankle and on hand , near finger and both the legs I took some ayurvedic medicines and also get benefit out of that , but as a side effect itching get increased badly and results into some new spots then I consult an dermatologist and he prescribed whitcare tablet and lotion , emmunorm & Tole Norm Oil for this. I am taking this medicine from past 1 month but not seeing any visible effect. Just want to know whether I am taking rite medicine or not.

Hi mads,
Thanks for writing in.

Effective treatment are now available for vitiligo or white spots.
Few oral medications and few newer lotions like pseudocatalse are now available .
Also phototherapy and excimer laser are effective in treating white spots.


Pulse therapy and phototherapy can stop developing new spots and bring back the color in white spots
Consult a good dermatologist for taking these treatments.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
