About Me:

I've had vitiligo since 2001. I was able to control it with vitamins and ointment which I applied daily, but now that I'm pregnant on my 8th month it's been impossible to treat because I can only take my prenatal vitamins, which are less stronger than the ones I was taking prior to my pregnancy. Hopefully after the pregnancy I will be able to treat vitiligo again and see results. As it has spread vigorously with the pregnancy. Before the pregnancy, I had vitiligo only on the tip of my fingers. Now it has taken half my fingers, my knuckles, my ankles and the corner of my mouth. I pray that here I'm able to get acquainted with people with the same condition and that we are able to help each other. God Bless!!

    I read that you were able to control your vitiligo with vitamins and protopic.  Can I ask what vitamins?  And the protopic, was it an ointment or cream?  Did you apply the protopic before going out in the sun?
