Mike, As far as genetics goes on my mothers side one of my great uncles have vitiligo. This has been a eye opening experience for my daughter and me. Many don't know what vitiligo is. How did you go about educating people on your vitligo? Have any tips for me as a parent? Any tips for my daughter on living with vitiligo. Her dermatologist is Dr. Ebner on 23rd Ave. Nothern that is also the place she gets her Xtrac laser treatments. I wish you luck on your journey on finding more information on vitiligo and different treatments.
My daughter Alina uses the protopic cream along with the laser treatments. Just over this last month I see more areas of eczema. As far as the areas of vitiligo is on her eyebrow area. Her eyebrow has a spot of white hair along with the vitiligo patch. It is taking longer for the the skin to repigement on her eyebrow. Do you meet with the dermatologist often? We only had the first visit in April when she was diognosed with vitiligo. Since than it has only been the laser tech.
My daughter has both vitiligo and knew spots looking more like eczema. Her laser tech. used the Xtrac on it. Not sure if that is going to help the eczema.
Thanks for the dermablend advice. I just purchased the leg and body cover for the first time today, but I did not buy the setting powder. I guess I should in order to say it works. I usally wear make-up on my face but leave my hands and arms exposed. This summer I started wearing short sleeve shirts because I was burning up. I have never played golf before I don't know anyone who does, it would be interesting to try it one day. Oh, does golf n stuff count? LOL:)
Well I recently discovered my grandma had vit on her legs. Vit spread to face and I use Iman, but i do not cover on my hands. Does the dermablend leg and body really work for 14 hours? The last few months i've learned to live with it. I have been using wholistic treatments and i am seeing pigment in my arms and neck but not my face. Have you tired protopic?
Hi Mike, You practically live around the corner from me. The dermatoligist I was seeing is way over in Scottdale. How long have you had vit? What nationality are you?
