Hi Guys,

Had vitiligo since I was 8 and now I'm 27. Good to see there is a forum where everyone sharing their finding. Hopefully there will be a cure soon...

I tried this http://askdrshah.com/lueco.htm but did not work for me, maybe it might work for you.

The medicine does not react the same for everyone. Some treatment that works for you might not work for me too . Mine is quite bad, leg, hand, body and face. Learn to live with it already.

Added on May 14, 2012, 2:28 pmThe best treatment so far that has very significant effect for me is:
1. To consume this tablets on alternate days.
http://behboddarou.com/images/meladinine.jpg . You must take the tablet at least 2 hours before you stand on the sun for 20 min to get the UV light.
2. Apply this cream 2 to 3 times everyday. http://www.drugexp.com/images/medicine/Der...ntment_25gm.jpg

Its quite effective. Here's my before and after picture.

You can visit Dr.Nathan at Asuntha Hospital. He treated me with this medication.

But then I had to change job, got busy and had to work at Sweden for few month during the winter. Now I'm back where I started

The tablet is RM64, the cream is about RM25 but I suggest you visit the skin specialist at Asuntha as I went there and took this treatment (later I practice it on my own).

"you must take the tablet at least 2 hours before you stand on the sun for 20 min to get the UV light?"
1. Take tablet 2 hours before your planned suntan. I used to take it at 6AM (if you have UV light, you can use that. As we stand on the sun for the UV light which activates the medication)
2. After two hours, expose the area you would like to re pigment to the sun for 20 min. I usually to it from 8AM to 8.20AM
3. Do this on alternate days.

kinda sure its nerve problem , i've been taking vit b12 , and it helps, the patches reduced ! but need to combine with the treatment of light therapy

according to the link above , the scientist admister the patient 1000mg b12 and 10mg folic acid per day , then i followed , one month passed , the patches are reducing .... i also got take vitamin c

u mean the cream effective or sun tanning effective ? if i dont go sun tan then use the uvb light only can ?

so ur first visit to assunta how much they charge you ? subsequent visit is rm 100 to 200 right  ,according to ur reply earlier ~

better dont simply expose to sunlight , i mean sunlight at different time is different ,b4 10 am the sunlight is ok , after that is not ok

my personal experience with sunlight is that everytime i exposed to sunlight already , like go to the beach or blah blah , my vitiligo will spread ~

Added on July 14, 2012, 1:06 pmwent to Dr Koh in Pj uptown, he gave me this cream called elomet, was effective and my vitiligo around my lips gone , but 2 months later it came back, it is me too stress or what~

here I'm back

no different using the oil plus I'm lazy to regularly use it =="
just buat muka tembok je if people ask ....

regarding those protopic are they really effective ?
or just prevent spreading. I got vitiligo after I ended up having dengue fever for a week then the patch shows up on my face ...not spreading extensively though ...just noticed I started to have a patch  white hair after all these time......

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

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

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

Regards,
KP
