It's understandable to feel frustrated about hand repigmentation. Opzelura tends to work less effectively on hands compared to other body parts because hands have fewer hair follicles. Melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) live in hair follicles, which is why areas with more hair follicles typically respond better to treatment. To potentially improve results, consider discussing combining Opzelura with narrowband UVB phototherapy with your healthcare provider. Survey data shows that people using both treatments together reported higher satisfaction levels compared to those using Opzelura alone. Remember that repigmentation requires some exposure to light (either natural or through phototherapy) to be most effective.
