What Kind Of Treatment And Diet Should Be Followed For Vitiligo?
Hi Sir. I am Shivaprakash. I found white patches on my skin and I consult doctors they told me about vitiligo. I started melanocyl solution applying on face. After applying on face it becomes pink and skin burn. Can you please tell me which treatment should I take. and whtat are the food restriction for this.
Treatment of Vitiligo depends on whether it is focal, segmental or generalised type.
For vitiligo limited to face, i usually ask my patients to either use either a moderately potent steroid cream like fluticasone OR an immunomodulator like Tacrolimus ointment twice daily.
I usually avoid using melanocyl on face because it might cause a burn on face.
Their is no scientific evidence to prove any particular type of food causing vitiligo. Therefore food restrictions are not required.
take care
