Hi everyone. I have had vitiligo since i was 13 years old, i am 22 now. It has been extremely difficult for me to deal with even after all these years. I try my best to cover it and i dont wear shorts or bathing suits. im always afraid of people staring or looking at me like im gonna infect them. I have tried almost everything in the world but one thing that worked for a little while for me was the creams, protopic and something else i cant remember. its been years. I am married with a wonderful husband that loves me and loves my spots. He always tells me how beautiful i am but i just cant see myself that way. I was wondering if anyone had any advise on how you get through it and how you deal with other people if they ask about it or stare at it.

My vitiligo is spreading n I don’t know what to do. My doctor told me there was no cure and that treatments were expensive. Its very embarrassing.

I have had this vitiligo condition most of my life…I have had the light treatments years ago which did not help. Preesntly I have been using a stain called dy o derm which is produced by a lab company in fort worth texas called gladerma..They have discontinued this product without a reason…This stain is the best method for covering this condition.. Does anyone know of a better stain or any other method for cover up other than cosmetic makeup?

My name is Gracie
I have no history of Vitiligo at all.I got this after my son was born hes now 15 I never had this before.But I read it could be due to stress too is that true?Well I wanted to know if the skin dyes work and what would you recommend to at lease cover it up? And one more thing if I was to get a tattoo over it would it still spread and will the ink cover it up and stay in?

hi, as far as make up, covermark & dermablend have plenty of colors to help match your skintone. you may need to use more than one color. after using these products for many years, i just got tired of hiding so much, my vitilgo is on my face, and the coverage is heavier than most foundations. so i switched to covergirl&olay-simply ageless foundation. the coverage is good.
best tip, use a setting powder that doesn’t have talc in it, dries your skin too much. just a little and use a good brush.
also, moisturize!!! i use one with SPF30 every morning-before applying make up(makes a huge difference) and everynight before bed.apply make upwith a wet make up sponge.
this process made a huge difference in my skin and how the make up looks on it.

I tried the uvtreatments.com lamps and they work fine for me. got the small size and i cuold see results only after 3 months.
this is the first time i really see changes with this
ultraviolet narrow band lamps on my vitiligo.

What i would like to know is what other alternative should i take to combine it in order to get a faster result, i am getting the color back slowly i wonder if i could improve the speed of my healing process.

thanks, any comment or suggestion please email me at benjaminy2k@hotmail.com

thanks Ben!
