Hi,

I also got treatment from Dr.Nathan. The treatment is very effective, but it will take long time to cure & some times it may re-occur.

First few months Dr game me maladine tablet & beprosone cream. After that he gave me Triamcinalone injection & psoralen lotion (stay under sun for UV 30 mins after applying lotion for 20 mins).

After few more months he gave me folic acid tablets , some tablet for control gastric. Then Daivobet ointment

So overall 80% of my vitiligo spots cured, but as per my general physician - all these are steroids, most of the time these steroids will impact /damage other parts of human system. After all the medication my vitiligo spots reduced & diabetic has started sad.gif

So I stopped visiting Dr..nathan ...

Note: The treatment also bit expensive (At least for me !!!) is around RM200- RM300 per month.

From past 8 months I am using homeopathy medicine. So far no positive results. But good news is that there is no NEW spots smile.gif

FYI: my spots are on left side of face, lips, scalp, chest & lately in groins ... all are small spots except at groins

Regards,
KP

so i created this facebook group so that we'll know we got each other back
u can search this name "vitiligo bond malaysia" https://www.facebook.com/groups/417865751609854/
dont worry its a closed group , so other ppl cant see what is in it ...'

Hope you guys live life strong everyday !


Added on September 18, 2012, 11:46 pmsorry for spamming the wall , cause i got info to share again

http://www.clinuvel.com/en/news/webcasts/w...e-wolgen-part-4

if u know michael jackson and lee thomas, well mj is a well known singer, lee thomas is a well know anchor in US , so both of them having vitiligo

lee thomas was the spokeperson for vitiligo community in US

now he is asking about the new drug developed by the pharmaceutical company :clinuvel , the progress of the new drug and what roles should a vitiligo patient plays

Though we suffer from vitiligo , we are not alone , i am sure there are more vitiligo patients in Malaysia , i just wanna group up and tell the other that we support each other ! and if no one did this , i try tho , starting today to raise the awareness to public about this decease

thought there are unspoken comment , but all the stares and weird look that throw on me .....i think no one should be discriminated ..we are NORMAL ....its time to voice out ...

i need to know ur story, i wish i could gather everyone story, each story of a vitiligo patient ( without real names of course) , and let the society know about us , we are not isolated by the society , we need to create the awareness....

hi guys ... how are u all doing , so i tried this item called Vitiligo cover lotion from USA

Okay so this is my review using the vitiligo cover
1.it blends in well with my skintone..it looks natural (except u greedy apply too much at one time lol)
2. One bottle is economical as i.use so little
3. The colour staysssssss ! It trick me to think that i am repigmenting LOL ...even i bath ..even i wash my hand with soap it stay there ...when i wipe my hand dry with towel aft i wash my hand


Cons
1. Need to apply carefully for esp for those smaller white patches cause need to avoid the pigmented skin
2.wont make ur skin look like they dont hv vitiligo but less lesss lesssss obvious definitely

You can check out the before and after pic.

This is the description of the vitiligo community group in malaysia called "Vitiligo Bond Malaysia"

https://www.facebook.com/groups/417865751609854/

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Vitiligo Bond Malaysia was created on October 2012. The first gathering of the vitiligo patient was on 25th October 2012, Kuala Lumpur.


The vision of this non profit organisation is to create awareness of Malaysian about Vitiligo. We gather all the vitiligo patients to unite them and let our voices to be heard one day . We may start small but we will grow.

This is a place where we share all the treatment reviews and places /clinics that we went to seek treatment, with the power of this vitiligo community , we can strengthen each other , most importantly networking , to know each other and share information.


"gathering weeping soul and put smile on their face again"

Roughly how much would it cost?
I have vitiligo since I am 6, and I'm 25 now.
my patches has been better as time goes but at some area, it will still "spread" little by little.
=(

the first time i went , they charge me rm 155 include the medicine and then subsequently is lesser , around rm 60 , i only see him once per month , so it is not so burdened la

do join our group ya , there you can get more people to answer you and faster , and the group is secret , even you join with your fb , no one will know you have this group or any activities in there , so no need to worry about that
