What Is Vitiligo?
8. Medication
Vitiligo cannot be cured, and it cannot be stopped. However, it is possible to help reduce the severity of the symptoms. Certain medication is able to help restore some of the color in the skin, at least helping to make the condition less noticeable. This can be achieved with help from drugs and light therapy.
When the condition is in its earlier stages, anti-inflammatory medication like corticosteroid creams may help to restore some of the color. It is not always effective and it can be months before results are seen. Medication that helps to suppress the immune system may also be able to help in some cases.
