Marcie has a concern and some may have already read it but for those who have not the link is at the bottom of this post.
I post my opinion here so all could see it when they first sign on. Marcie is a beautiful young lady just like the rest of us and she has not started treatment for her vitiligo and confused because she dont know what to really believe because there is no known cure for vitiligo but yet there are sites out there saying they have the cure. I cant advise her on a treatment because I dont treat mine. But it is still my duty as person with vitiligo and a friend through this site to help her and others the best way I know how.
Marcie this is my personal opinion but I still hope you can take something from it to help you in your decisions you choose to make.
I was told 20 years ago there was no cure and today I am hearing the same thing. In order to cure you have to find the source and thats the hard part. I feel the "cure" wont be the same for every one and then again it may be. It is something going on inside our bodies that is turning our own immune system against us. Something is attacking and destroying old and preventing new melanocytes in our body. This vitiligo thing is weird to me. There is a common link but what triggers that link varies for each of us. I feel there is something in or attached itself to our melanocytes where our bodies now see its own melanocytes as a foreign object and it then sends out a signal to go in and destroy. This is just my theory.
I cant say what treatment will work for you. Find yourself a doctor you can trust and follow his/her treatments. You cant treat everyone the same. What might help you might not do a thing for some one else and vice versa. Since they have not found a cure right now most are trying to find ways to slow the spread much as possible. You might just find your cure through treating it. This is why I dont tell any one not to treat. I know I dont do it for my own personal reason but I respect the fact everyone has the right to choose a path for theirself. I only stress the fact regardless if you treat your vitiligo or not still love yourself and find your own inner peace. Dont love yourself by force but by choice. It wont happen over night it will take time and it wont be easy. There will be days that will be harder than the last but you just take one moment at a time. Before trying any thing new talk to your doctor first because there are people out there that will only want to get your money but not all.
I hope this helps you Marcie and I wish you the best on your course of treatment.
