Vitiligo Skin Pigment Disorders Treatment in Hillcrest

Vitiligo is the patchy loss of your skin’s natural color, when melanin, the pigment that determines your skin’s color, is damaged or destroyed. Treatment for vitiligo depends on the extent of your specific form of vitiligo. Realistic expectations are important and should include reducing the contrast between your normal skin and the lighter areas and improving your self-esteem and confidence. Effective solutions for vitiligo include, topical medications, sun avoidance and/or sunscreen (SPF 30 minimum), UVB light therapy, a combination light and medication therapy, or, in severe cases, skin grafting.
