Is It Safe To Take Arsen Sulph And Vitiligo 30?

About a year ago, I started seeing white spots on my legs...they have multiplied rapidly. The dermatologist diagnosed it as Vitiligo. I am currently applying Pigmento ointment (charak). I was sent Vitiligo 30 sublingual pills from Biogetica, as well as Pigmento Tablets. I am a breast cancer survivor (2), and have had reconstruction. I am 68, and 5 4 tall...weigh 154 lbs. I am really scared to ingest the pills for fear that it will do liver damage. One of the pills contain Arsen Sulph . How harmful is this? Please advise. Thank you. Juliet

Hi,

As per your complain Vitiligo is a skin condition in which there is a loss of pigmentation in patches in different areas of the body thereby forming white patches on the skin.

It occurs due to damage to the melanocytes in certain areas of the body which are pigment-producing cells producing Melanin and provides colour to the skin.

As any oral medications should not be taken without consulting your Physician especially if you have a previous or ongoing medical condition, therefore you should take these medicines only after consulting your Physician.

Consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and he can do a thorough clinical evaluation and also advise investigations like biopsy from the depigmented areas.

You can be advised to apply Melanocyl ointment. You can also be advised spot Oxsoralen therapy.

PUVA photochemotherapy can also be beneficial. In the case of small areas, skin grafting can also be advised if other mechanisms do not help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
