WHY I PERSONALLY DECIDED TO NOT GET MY VITILIGO TREATED !!!!!

I gave up trying to treat vitiligo because it's an auto immune disorder so all the topical cremes,medicines and light treatments really are not worth it, until the immune system it's self is repaired that's why vitiligo happens because of a malfunction in the immune system so treating the skin will not solve anything it will just cause you too spend more money and that's what these companies want us to do because we are vulnerable because we want a cure so bad and companies will take advantage of you. Have you noticed all the so called cures and treatment that the spammers try to list on this site before they are removed by Steve. People take advantage of us Vitiligo people and others with diseases and disorders because people are greedy for money and will try to hustle you if you let them just becareful and keep your eyes open because individuals and companies are going to offer you false hope to cure Vitiligo and if your weak enough you will fall victim just like a person who has been a victim of identity theft just watch yourself out there people !!!!!!!

Medical treatment for vitiligo isn't always necessary. Self-care steps, such as using sunscreen and applying cosmetic camouflage cream, may improve the appearance of your skin. For fair-skinned individuals, avoiding tanning can make the areas almost unnoticeable. Depending on the number, size and location of the white patches, you may decide to seek medical treatment. Medical treatments for vitiligo aim to even out skin tone, either by restoring color (pigment) or by destroying the remaining color.

Treatment for vitiligo may take as long as six to 18 months to several years and some people have the patience to wait this long while others don't because most of us live busy lives with our jobs and families, and you may have to try more than one treatment before you find the one that works best for you.

Hey there Carl for me you have your head in the right place, but it will take all sorts of different attitudes to (if) ever get a treatment for Vit but most of all it takes Money - I wonder if we added up all the' lost' money spent on phantom cures from these parasite companies - how much we would have in a pot for better research. Would people be willing to forego what they would have spent on 'cures' for 2 years and give it instead to sustain research - but even then where do we begin there would be mass disagreements about in what direction to research. I dont think there is any need for more psychological research - they do a huge study and then tell us and a few other Peer dermo readers that we suffer .....really well I never knew that!!! Okay it might back up a case for further money on medical research but from where I am sitting that does not happen, it just makes for a good journal article for the academic. Karl for President the first Vitiligo US President!!!

I STARTED TAKING A VITAMIN CALLED PABA AND THAT ACTULLY STARTED WORKING AFTER LIKE A MONTH BUT THEN AFTER USING IT FOR ABOUT NINE MONTHS I NOTICED THE SKIN ON MY FOOT WAS LOOKING LIKE ELEPHANT SKIN LOL AND I JUST SAID IMMMM DONE! I LOVE MYSELF MY VITILIGO IS A PART OF ME NOW AND I HAVE ACCEPTED IT. ITS HARD ENOUGH JUST TRYING TO REMEMBER TO PUT SUNSCREEN ON AND THATS A MUST! I HAVE TO SAY THE PEOPLE ON HERE ARE AWESOME...

I agree, these companies are banking on what they think is giving hope to the hopeless. I have heard of some minor success with treatments but basically it is untreatable at the moment. If there really was something that really helped, was really successful, this site would no longer exist. Did MJ leave any money to vit research? A few million would have been nice ....
