Any One Out There With Segmental Vitiligo?
A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have segmental vitiligo since Nov. 2021. I have 3 small spots on the top of my right foot (vent). I am 55 years old with no history in my family. I am presently treating it with Opzelura and UVB twice a week.... no changes. Anyone out there with similar scenario? I thank you in advance for any information you may provide....it will definitely be so much more than what my dermatologist has provided. Claudia
