Have Vitiligo. Tried Depigmentation. But Why Does It Return?
hi iam 28y/o saudi girl ,i have vitiligo since 15 year , more than 60% of my body i tried every line in treatment of vitiligo even depigmentation my question is when i was used monobezyhydroqunion 20% my skin become very erythematous itching & i feel burning sensation so i stopped the treatment few days & use it again but same sensation what the next can i do
Hi the erythema and burning sensation is by chemical used by u for depigmentation.sometimes depigmentation itself when exposed to sunlight can cause this erythema as the chemical causing irritant dermatitis do not use it again.instead use of steriods stops the progression of vitiligo and application of sunscreen protects from sunlight.u can use dermicolor suitable to ur skin daily once to cover ur vitiligo patches
