Low-dose oral mini-pulse dexamethasone therapy in progressive unstable vitiligo.

Posted by Robot on December 3, 2015 at 4:46am in Main

Friends,

By the time I was in Dead Sea, I spoke with many people who went there for a vitiligo treatment.

Some of them were trying to manage the spreading, some others to achieve re-pigmentation.

I remember that in some spreading cases,  they mentioned a low-dose oral mini-pulse treatment.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23815959

I have never agreed on taking corticosteroid because it's side effects, but this mini-pulse therapy lows it down a lot.

So, if you are in a spreading status, talk to your Doctor.  Ask him to read the paper attached. Ask him to research it.

Regards.

      I believe it's a good weapon against spreading itself...
