Go to your dermatologist regarding these type of treatments. I don’t use them, but I know my dermatologist is always trying to tell me about them, especially since they can be used for other issues like eczema. Good luck.

Where can you get JAK inhibitors for vitiligo?
Currently, ruxolitinib (Opzelura) is an FDA-approved topical JAK inhibitor available for vitiligo treatment. You can get this medication through a prescription from your dermatologist.
Several oral JAK inhibitors are still in clinical trials and not yet available for general use. These are expected to become available in the coming years, but they're currently only accessible through participation in clinical trials.
To get started with JAK inhibitor treatment:
- Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist who treats vitiligo
- Discuss whether topical ruxolitinib is appropriate for your situation
- Ask about clinical trials if you're interested in oral JAK inhibitors
Keep in mind that JAK inhibitors work best when combined with phototherapy (narrowband UVB light treatment), so your dermatologist may recommend using both treatments together for optimal results.
