Hello TDColes I'm glad you made a decision to use oral steroids! 👏🏾
If so, have you experienced success? I am researching for possible treatment for my 10 year old. Topicals and phototherapy have been giving her anxiety and I'm trying to find alternative treatments for now.
No, but please post if you get good results.
I’m wondering what other conditions people got after being diagnosed with vitiligo. Or before for that matter. I’ve seen some discussions of psoriasis. What other conditions did you get? Did they come before or after the vitiligo?

Robyn2 great to here this news of your purchasing antihistamine to control your problem with scratching. 😃
Hi, i have made two appointments that have taken months to get. One in Florida and one in Raleigh NC. The doctor in NC spent about 3 minutes with me, prescribed Opzelura and left. i told her my vitiligo was growing rapidly and she showed zero interest in a follow up. can someone recommend a good dermatologist in the Triangle area?

Yes they are expensive my insurance covers 90% once I meet my deductible.
I was diagnosed with Vitiligo at the age of four. I am now 28 and turning 29 this year. The hands and legs are covered in a white pot. Originally, they were only on my face. In my research on the internet, my symptoms seem to be quite similar to those of idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis. Although statistics show that it occurs when you are older and not when you are young.
I have no insurance. And want some insite as to what I can use over the counter to fade the vitiligo spots? It's spreading everywhere faster than ever before. Is it something I am eating?

Thank You for your advice and for reaching out to me. It's appreciated. I was told that stress is the main cause of this autoimmune deficiency. And to me it's difficult to handle everyday… read more
