I know this is a very old post but I still hope anyone would reply cos still waiting for approval to join FB group.

I have white patches on hand and legs, and after googling I found out they are vitiligo. I went to see a medical doctor and she said it it most probably vitiligo and suggested that I see a skin specialist/dermatologist, but I haven't go see one.

After I found out that this is one of the autoimmune disease, I kind of scared that I might have any other autoimmune related disease. Because during pregnancy, my gynae found that I have higher level of thyroid, which then back to normal after I delivered.

My question - any of you go to see any other specialist other than skin for vitiligo or did any test for autoimmune related disease?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi guys,

I'm a vitiligo patient from Penang.

I've been dealing with it for about 6 months after notified it on my forehead.

Been taking B12 and folix acid, but my blood test report is showing I'm overdosed with these 2 vitamins lol

My doctor is telling me that those are not the real factors for vitiligo and ask me to apply Protopic every night before I go to bed.

I'm going to try this and update everyone the status monthly. Btw, has anyone tried this treatment?

Did you get any treatment in Penang since that?
