Vitiligo or leukordemia is a type of skin diseases that is hard to cure, lately scientist and dermatologist have come with a new idea on how to cure vitiligo effectively and make the vitiligo patients smile again.

The vitiligo patients skin develop patch of de-pigmented skin. The patch may grow bigger or remain constant in size.

Many symptoms that we can see from the patient of vitiligo, some of them got the white patch on their hand, feet, arm, genital organ or even worst on the face. As we know many people suffer from this disease, it includes the famous person like Michael Jackson, Thomas Lennon and Doc Hammer. Which mean this disease is where ever in the world.

For many years, there is almost no treatment for vitiligo. Nowadays, scientist and dermatologist have come with a new idea on how to cure vitiligo effectively. The most popular treatment for vitiligo is a laser vitiligo treatment, which is popularly known as phototheraphy vitiligo treatment.

The treatment is to expose the vitiligo skin area to ultraviolet (UVA) from the sun or from the UVA lamp.

I start to develop vitiligo on July 07. Try many different presribed cream and didn't really work. Right now my only treatment is UVA light, but that doesn't seem to work either. Maybe I have to wait for awhile to see an effect (3 months already).

Nomarly, the treatment will take some time.. maybe up to years to fully cure, depend on the treatment frequency and the vitiligo itself. other way to treat vitiligo is using PUVA, the different is a little amount of mediline paint will be apply at the affect area before getting treatment with light. check here for detail http://effectivevitiligotreatment.blogspot.com/

Vitiligo shouldnt be such a hinderance on someone\'s life. I have had it for over 10 years and consider it a blessing that I am able to live and be healthy with a \"disease.\" Be happy with yourself and accept the disease. Dont be so quick to find a cure. The imperfections in us are what make us beautiful.

I have vitiligo now for four years..When it began to spread I took neem tablets and it stopped spreading within a week. In USA, there is no treatment for vitiligo..They give you elidel/protopic and the pigmentation is not permanent..From then onwards, I am trying to pigment the affected areas..not much luck..Narrowband UVB produced the best benefit. I posted my details in Englishforums but I could not find the link now..I prettymuch tried everything in the internet, form homeo,herbal,chineseetc etc..no use..the latest I heard is that black pepper is good if applied..

I am a vitiligo patient,although its in the initial stages.i have marble sized spots on my legs,hips and now its starting to appear below my chin.strangely enough iv noticed that if appears on the left.....soon enough it starts appering on the right side as well that too on the exact place.I got it on bothsides of my legs ans hip area.I started using a local medicine....and now the spots are slowly diminishing.Hopefully its gonna go away forever.But my major concern i.....will it ever stop appearing on other unaffected areas???Besides the medicine im using is just for application.I have nothing to consume to prevent the furthur possibilities of it from appearing on other prts.I wonder if pills for consumption are required???

I have tried many tx for Vitiligo, and have the best results with UVB and UVA light txs. A few weeks ago I tried UVA (commercial tanning bed) and have excellent results. (Many new freckles showing on my arms! in 3 weeks!) I am treating two times a week at 8 minutes now. It is a lot more cost effective than the UVB txs through my Derm, and more conv.

Sadly that vitiligo treatments take long time to see tthe effect. For the instant resolution I think that the surgical procedure is a great ideas. But All vitiligo surgical therapies must be considered only after proper medical therapy is provided. Vitiligo surgical techniques are time-consuming and expensive and usually not paid for by insurance carriers. They are appropriate only for carefully selected patients who have vitiligo that has been stable for at least 3 years. more details on http://effectivevitiligotreatment.blogspot.com/2007/11/surgical-therapies.html (copy this link and paste to you adress tool bar)
