Does Vitiligo keep sperading through our lives?

Posted by Gina Cucchiara on June 14, 2015 at 1:27am in Main

Hi All, about a year ago I was diagnosed with vit and had 2 spots under my arm pits.  Nothing else happended for year until now.  Now I have several small spots on my hands and 2 small ones on the corners of my mouth.  Is this going to always progress?  Does it ever stop?  Any success stories?  Do creams really work?  Thanks in advance.

    Hey everybody,

    Well I havent been doing any treatment since last year, I guess I got a bit tired and also because I only had a few spots on my face. This year I must say I have been eating things that i dont eat normally and I was also very sick with chickenpox so I realized one of the spots on my forehead got bigger and also around my eyes, anyways I went to the dermatoligst and he said just leave it like that and dont do anything about it just cover it . 

    Sometimes I have mixed emotions, there are days I dont care and there are days I put more attention, specially now that the summer is here, is kind of difficult, even so I keep positive and I hope one day a cure will come out.

    I want to start doing again a good diet again. I have also see that i got a few white eyelashes and white hair on my eyebrows, for the rest in my body nothing else. It is now on my face only.

    Is there a way to bring pigment to the white hair?

      Atleast this provides you some hope....!! Actually in initial stages there might have been some successs stories. Also it depends on what areas has vit appeared.

    Vitiligo Seems to be more Psychological than Physical.So the first thing to reduce its growth intensity is stop thinking about it I know it's pretty tough but you atleast gotta try.Reduce your stress level & always be confident & tell your inner conscience that you can deal with it & you can over come it. Vitiligo is an auto immune disorder ,so what your immune system can do no other medicines can achieve that.So boost your immune with your optimism.
    That's all you need to do mentally other than having your medications. Diet with vitamin B12 & copper,folic acid tablets.
    Keep a copper vessel filled with water at night & drink that water in the morning.Cu has natural colouring tendency.

    Finally, Growth of vitiligo is circumstantial so it may or may not grow or it may even get Cured.What we do is to try our best & hope for the same.
