I recently came up with the idea that dead sea mineral lotion might bring some color back on my vitiligo. Sure enough after only about a week of using it...I noticed dots of regular color appearing on my white spots. I am so amazed and thankful! The dead sea is a magical and holy place. I shall continue to massage the lotion in my skin for the rest of my life and see what happens. you should try it and tell me if it is working for you!

Also giving this a go. Trying out a concentrated solution on a strip of tissue. Then leave it for 20mins before washing away residue. Out in the sun for about 30mins of sun exposure a couple of times a week. My pigment was already coming back thanks to folic acid, but this year the pigment seems more dense. It's worth a try and a good deal cheaper than a month or two in Jordan though not as much fun.
I would be interested to know how Lisa is doing now. I'm going to try this. My vit is on my face... The lotion only costs $10 so that's not a big investment; I'm going to give it a shot and I'll let ya'all know how it goes.
How do I get some? I heard the dead sea has done miracles with vitiligo, but I thught you had to go there. I have been doing the uvb light since july and I was 85 % depigmented. I have about 45% back now. Hands and feet are stubborn, but I see spots. The lotion would compliment that!
I just got a great dead sea mineral lotion from my sample birch box thingie. I've been using it but never thought to use it on my spots. I'll have to give it a try. Then I may be able to justify buying the product! yay! :)
I know a doctor I met said that he took his child to see a doctor overseas and it is apart of his treatment to liek sit in the water or something. Idk. but Im willing to try anything.

There is a place in Calfironia called the Salton Sea, I went there once as a kid, people would go out into the water and bathe/float. It was kind of a remote location and stinky if I remember right. I wonder if the salt from that "sea" has the same mineral content as the dead sea?

if this is true than no vitiligo sufferers in Israel and Jordan.so it is not true.
