@jiamie Hands and Feet are very challenging. You might want to read the first paragraph of http://www.vithappens.com/index.php/2010/07/with-vitiligo-should-i-... It says"Let me begin by saying that the areas of our bodies with the fewest hair follicles such as the hands, feet, knees and elbows are the toughest areas to treat with any form UVB NB. It’s the hair follicles that harbor the last remaining melanocytes and it is the melanocytes that help color our skin."
That being said, there are some people who do have success with feet and hands but it can be areal challenge because of the lack of hair follicles.
I am not a Vitiligo sufferer, I have been involved with helping folks with Vit for over ten years.
