I am fairly new to this site and have done a lot of reading since I've joined. I've noticed that there have been some of you who have had some success in repigmenting by using melancyl and/or novitil. I am curious as to where one could purchase these? I ordered some skin care items called Melansol on line and have been using them for about a month now but I haven't seen any change in my vitiligo. I am wondering if it is the same thing as the melancyl. Anyone out there have some info they can share with me?? Thank you so much!

I have been trying Novitil for a month. Ifyou stay out in the sun your white spots get pink. That's not repigmentation, it's just sunburn. But still it looks better on me than the ghostly white, that;s for sure. Most people assume what I have is sunburn, little do they know. I don't think either of these preps really do anything except get your white spots pink. f that helps and looks better on you, go for it. I put sunscreen on the rest of my arms and hands and try to get some color on my white patches and not tan the rest (to minimize the contrast).
