My name is John. I am 45. I recently got vitiligo. Its progressed on my hands and genitals over the last 3 months . I remember a sensational itching in my hands then over some weeks my hands just started turning white. I am African American. This is very scary. Can it be cured?
I can understand your concern for the vitiligo in your skin condition. Vitiligo is a skin condition in which the colour producing cells are damaged and are not able to produce colour to the skin. The resulting condition gives complete white skin problem.
In my patients I prefer to give following treatment option:
-Immunomodulator drugs to reduce the steroid and taper off the steroids.
You can meet a dermatologist for further best guidance.
Take care, all the best.

Hello, I can understand your concern for the vitiligo in your skin condition.
