I was using protopic on my face for about a year or so and just once a day and I would even miss a day or a few days I used protopic 0.1. This Really works great.
I also started juicing as you can tell from my photos I lost about 30 pounds or more and feel a look healthier. Green juice just works I also have been using Magnesium oil that I go from ebay and I have started a more alkaline diet. but for the most part before all this it was the just protopic and I was even out partying drinking and just going to nightclubs like all the time and eating everything and anything.
So protopic works.
I also have recently bought a hand help UV light that I got from ebay for about $350usd and have been using it on my arms and I can see allot of Freckles coming in it seems to be working and thats with out using any kinda cream on it just the light i use it for about 1minute 30 sec. on each spot and it turns pink well like red like a sun tan then I let it rest for a few days or even a week then do it again i have only been using the light for a few month not long at all but seem to be doing its job.
Anyhow just wanted to share my story if any of you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Thanks to the site owners for this great and informative web site and forum.

That's fantastic!!!
And the vitiligo pattern in your before pic really looks like mine : around the mouth, chin and on top of the eye brows. I think mine is worse though....but I'm a very pale cauciasian so it's not as apparent on first glance.
I have been applying protopic for about a month and a half. I use Elidel in the morning because I can't stand the greasiness of protopic and in no way will I go to work with a shiny disgusting face. I have been pretty good with applying regularly.
I hope to see such great results as you did!!!
Happy for you! and thanks for sharing...gave me hope! :)
I used Elidel also before, don't get that in your eyes cause it will mess them up it messed my eyes up really bad I think protopic is way better I put it on so thin that there is like no grease and I only use it once at night before bed and even miss days and it still worked well as you can see.
now im using the uv light with out any cream and it seems to be doing wonders here is some photos.
if you see in my arms that the left and the right elbow area one is all white and one has freckles well they where both all white before with no freckles so look at my arms now and in a month or so ill post some more photos.
also here is the uv lamp I got from ebay.
Just sharing my story and hope it can help someone.

I saw that lamp on ebay....though of buying it. But the brush type tip threw me off a bit. I thought perhaps it was meant more for people that suffer from psoriasis on the scalp and use the brush to brush light in their hair.
I want to see a derm who knows vitiligo before doing anything big like purchasing a NBUVB. I don't even know how to use it and I'm affraid that I will burn myself.
On a good note, I see frekkles in my chin :) I'm repigmenting! Still in the very very early stages but nevertheless it makes me smile to see that I am gaining colour.
Elidel is less strong then protopic. But instead of only using protopic once a day, I figure using elidel in the morning is better than nothing in the morning.
I like the brush thing as I just rest the light right on my skin I use the light about 2 minutes on each spot I started with 1 minute some times I even go 3 minutes..
I think it was a small amount to pay for what its doing for me. I will post some more pictures soon...
Thanks
One more thing I have to add I broke my femur bone about fore years ago and they put a metal rod in my leg and it turns out im very allergic to nickel and it would make me break out with scabs it started just on the leg the rod was in then later to both legs, below the knees and then to my arms if you see the little round spots in them pix you will see,the scabs I would scratch or pick and then after they turned white so i have like about 10 to 15 little round spots on both arms and that really sucks aslo my legs below the knees are almost all white because of that rod that i was allergic to, with that being said july 13th 2013 about two weeks ago I had that rod removed and all the scabs have since cleared up, it took me so long to get it out cause my health Insurance would not cover that cause it is a cosmetic problem or something so i had to pay to get that out, best money I ever spent. so im thinking now I should be able to recover allot faster from my vitiligo.

amazing. i wish you more luck in your journey.
You can juice anything and everything I juice allot of Cabbage, Celery, Carrot, Sweet potato, Broccoli, at lease one big beet and ginger as well, tomatos, some fruit apples, Pineapple really gives it a good taste, Watermelon including peel. For the most part I just try and stick to veggies and just a little fruit for taste.
The magnesium oil I just pray in the palm of my hands and rub on my legs after I shower do a google search on it..
Hope this info helps
@Pual Vera
Your right and I have used other creams but never stuck to any of them, I just stuck to this and it was not immediate results but when I did started seeing results I kept using it now that I also see results with my UV light im also using it and exited about that and will keep using it along with juicing.
The only have had about 100gram tube in total I had two 30 gram tubes of protopic and one 60 gram tube and I still have some left and that did the trick for my face...
