Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have vitiligo on lips which is a condition in which the melanin producing cell melanocyte dies due to certain factors which produce white patches. I would suggest you to :
- Protect your skin from sun by applying sunscreen with SPF 50 .
- Soak psoralea seeds in ginger juice for three days . After three days rub them to remove there out covering , then dried then , The take 1 gram poeder with milk daily for 40 days . It is very effective .
- Apply turmeric powder mix with honey for 15 minuts daily.
Consult dermatologist for proper evaluation. Doctor may prescribe topical corticosteroids , vitamin D supplement, ginkgo biloba or drugs to suppress immune system. Doctor may also recommend light therapy and PUVA light therapy .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
