Could Acupuncture be a cure for vitiligo?

Hi everyone,

i thought i would just share this! Ive been told by a few people in the past that acupuncture is ment to be good for people who suffer with Vitiligo but i never ended up having it done. I was reminded of it again recently and its ment to have a good feedback on it! Im going to the doctor soon who does this and i will let you guys know if this works or not. Has anyone else had this treatment before?

    acupenture works....i saw many cases who are cured... but it is generally done when all the vitligo is cured and if only small patches are remaining for years together and if they are not curable( though if u make small cut if u find white fluid coming instead if blood under doctor supervision this is done)  , under necessary circumstances acupenture is done and it also depends on place..acupenture is not done for facial vitligo

                     just this is my experience

    I have heard that acupuncture can help, it is used in Asia.. China and Tailand , there is a clinc in Phuket claim that they treat vitiligo by Acupuncture .

    If you are lucky you can get the repigmentation within few weeks othewise they use arround three monthes some days a week, it can be costy.

    Be aware there is nothing which works 100%, but it worth to try , you maight be the lucky one , the worest is  just to sit and wait for years waiting for miracle cure.

     

    Please let us know what you learned about acupuncture/vitiligo when you talk to the doctor

     

    Good luck!
