Need Information About UVB Therapy For Vitiligo
I have had vitiligo since 2005. I have tried Protopic and the steroid treatments a few times now but seem to always get discourage by the lack of results that I achieve. I do have one spot on my stomach that did start to show repigmentation but it revert back to being just white again. I've been thing about doing a more aggressive treatment with the UVB therapy. Any suggestions?

If you have not observed any increase in size of your vitiligo patch and there are no new erruptions for atleast last 6 months, your disease might have responded and stabilized due to the treatment you have taken.n this case you may opt for Plastic surgical removal of those vitiligo patches
