I'm not sure if it was the apple cider vinegar, or other stuff I'm trying, such as a homeopathic remedy that brought back skin color. Once you depigment your skin using monobenzone, it doesn't react normally to topical agents, so my experience can't be seen as the same as other people.

I'm not using the neodymium magnet anymore. It antidotes homeopathic remedies.

Hey so just noticed something while shaving, the brown spots on my face are definitely getting darker! There is no question about it.

I've been applying apple cider vinegar to my face twice a day, and the rest of my body once. I'm also drinking two tablespoons diluted in a bottle of water daily for general health. I've attached some pics at the bottom.

I got a gallon of the stuff for around $5 from the grocery store, and pour it into a plastic water bottle. For the last two days I'm sitting the bottle on top of the north negative pole of a  very strong neodymium magnet. (I'm doing the same with homeopathy) Not sure if this makes a difference.

Another important thing to point out is a few times I shaved and immediately applied the apple cider vinegar to my face, and it stung like hell, like aftershave. That may be what triggered the repigmentation.

Seeing as how I don't want my pigment back, but an even white skin tone (Since I'm mostly white now after depigmentation), I'm not applying it topically anymore. I'll still drink it though.

Hope that helps. Has anyone tried this stuff for repigmenation?

  • something is causing your pigment to come back.  you might be on to something Omar!  Eureaka!

    It may the homopathic medicines or the apple cider vinegar.  It looks your original color.  It would definitely worth a shot for others to put some of the apple cider vinegar esp. the braggs on perhaps it cause the original color to spread.

    from your posts: I think that homeopathic medicines have a better result than allopathic medicine.  It worth a shot people to see if Apple Cider vinegar (ACV) does the trick.  You can get the organic Braggs kind in bigger grocery stores or health food stores.

    • I really don't think it was the apple cider vinegar.

      It's clear to me that homeopathic remedies have an effect on the body. That's where I'm placing my hope.

      • from the pics it looks like your original pigment color.  the pics make it pretty powerful argument.  is the pigment coming in areas that had depigment prior to monobenezene?  I mean did the pigment come back in area that was depigmented due to vitiligo?

        in conversing with others I have heard about homeopathic medicine helping bring the pigment back from people who know of people in India and Pakistan.  Homeopathic has a pretty strong following there.  

        I wonder if there are any well-trained and experienced homeopathic doctors here in the USA?

        • I'm closing this topic as I'm sure now it was the homeopathy and not the apple cider vinegar.

  • the reason for ur repigmentation is apple cider vinegar or homeopathy medicine u r using ??

    are u getting regular sunlight ??

    • It might be the homeopathy. No I avoid the sun, to prevent further repigmentation.

      • why are you using the homeopathy medicine for ?

        • I'm taking Lycopodium for the brown spots. Since my skin is mostly white, I'm trying to get rid of the brown pigmentation, so that I have completely white skin.

          • Using any topical treatment (whitening creams, soaps, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, etc.) is causing the pigmented spots to spread. Not what I want. I've read  that for some people using monobenzone, in some cases it stop lightening and instead starts darkens the skin, (along with other topical lightening agents), which is whats happened.

            I'll only use homeopathy from now on. Nothing else is working.

            • What kind of apple cider vinegar were or are you using? Bragg apple cider vinegar contains 15 essential amino acids including tyrosine and glycine. Its also got enzymes n stuff. Helps the stomach promote stomach acid
