Vitiligo Treatment Options

• Sunscreens
• Initial treatment with certain topical corticosteroid creams is practical, simple, and safe
• If there is no response in 2 months, it is unlikely to be effective
• Mini grafting, which involves transplanting the patient's normal skin to vitiligo affected areas, may be a useful technique for refractory segmental vitiligo macules
•  PUVA may be required following the procedure to unify the color between the graft sites
• For more widespread vitiligo, treatment with oral psoralen + UVA (PUVA) is practical.
• Ophthalmologic examination and ANA blood tests are required before starting PUVA therapy
• Treatments should be twice weekly, not 2 days in a row, and sunlight exposure should increase by 3 to 5 minutes per treatment until there is a sign of response
• Bleaching with monobenzylether of hydroquinone 20% cream (Benoquin) is a permanent, irreversible process so it is not practical solution
• I advice you to be examined and followed up by good qulified dermatologist

1. It is not possible to predict how a patient will respond to treatment
2. It is important to keep in mind that no one treatment works for everyone
3. Results can vary from one part of the body to another. Combining two or more treatments often gives the best results.
