MOST ASKED VITILIGO QUESTIONS

Posted by Carl R. Manley on July 2, 2010 at 10:07am

Does Vitiligo run in the family ???.....................Yes

Can I get a skin biopsy to check if I have it ? A. Biopsy of the skin is not a diagnostic for vitiligo. It only helps to exclude other conditions.

Can I go out in the sun ? Yes but make sure your time is closely monitored

What treatment for vitilgo is most promising ? None because results depend on individual cases

Did Michael Jackson actually have it ? According to dermatologist and the pathologist who did his autopsy !!!!

What are my chances of getting vitiligo ? about the same as winning a million dollars in the lottery.

What other disease can cause Vitiligo ? Lupus and many others

Can a compromised immune system cause vitiligo ? Yes it's a fact after recent medical research

Will my kids get it if one the parents have it ? No not really because you can get it even if your parents don't have it.

Will sunblock protect me from the sun ? Yes and get the sunblock that has the highest SPF number (Skin Protection Factor)

I will have more frequently asked questions as I gather more information ~ Carl Manley
