We have been using the Elidel on my son. I have seen the spots on his neck getting much better and freckling. He does have other patches on his body that are not. Some of these patches looked like Eczema at times. I am confused. Has anyone else experienced this??

If it does not work try other creams like TOLENORM, i hear some creams work well on for some and not so well on others, also sunlight is important on spots after half an hour of application of cream. Sunlight or uvb light 311NM. Good luck.
Where do you live? Have you tried using any other cream and to expect result in weeks is being to optimistic, give it a time like 3-4 months and also i am not sure about potent of elidel cream i have no idea what are the ingriednts used in it i il have look and reply.
He has little white circular patches on a bunch of places. His neck is the part that is repigmenting only after two weeks of being on Elidel. That's why I am confused on why it would only work on one part, but not the others....
I had vitiligo on my face all over it, i succesfully treated it with uvb light a cream before exposure and vitamins, it took about 2 weeks to see lots of freckles and max 3-4 months for full pigmentation. I also had few patches on right side of my lower abdomen area which took longer time but i did get all pigmentation back. consistency is key with vitilgo as well as vitamins i just cannot stress this enough vitamins are absloutley crucial to success especially VITAMIN B12, D AND E FOLIC ACID also GiNKo Biloba. (Do your research before taking them). Happy to share before and after pics if you are interested.
Also before sleeping rubbing coconut oil on and around patches is helpful, i noticed that eating eggs kind of made it worse so i quit eating eggs all together, now just to be safe and not letting it come back i juice everyday with vegitables like spianch,beetroot,carrot,celery,kale,cuecumber, black seasme seeds, dates..i mix and match my fruits and veg along with normal eating, i eat chicken also like everyday because of gym, chicken seem ok but i heard red meats are not good for vitiligo so i stopped taking that, my point is i try to be careful and not want it to return simple steps have helped me and i have not seen any patch on my body in over 6 years long may it continue..
Shifa i am going to reply here as photo comment takes me to desktop site. Anyways i treated myself at home with a light i bought of androv its famous for uvb lights, 311nm costed me 149£ that time but you can get cheaper ones from ebay. I used ginko biloba for 6 months and then stopped. Its very good to control the spread it works...i am talking through experience.
I bought coconut oil of amazon urefined, also enjoyed eating a spoon of it ;-). Its called bioana coconut oil, something like that.

Was the coconut oil refined or unrefined? I also want to try some supplements, but not sure if my son is too little. He is only 3.5 years old.
