Vitiligo Specialists FAQ in Columbus, IN

Are you born with vitiligo?

Vitiligo usually manifests in the second or third decade of life and is believed to be an acquired condition, though a positive family history is present in 30 to 40 percent of cases. Congenital vitiligo and presentation at birth is a very rare entity, but cases in infancy have been reported.

Who gets vitiligo the most?

Addison’s disease. Pernicious anemia. Psoriasis. Rheumatoid arthritis. Systemic lupus erythematosus. Thyroid disease. Type 1 diabetes.

Which lack of vitamin causes vitiligo?

Based on our findings, patients with vitiligo have a high incidence of vitamin D deficiency, and this deficiency is more common among females than males.

Does vitiligo get worse as you age?

Like many skin conditions, it is not possible to predict in each individual when the vitiligo will eventually stop occurring. Without treatment most people with vitiligo will continue to notice their condition getting worse over several years.

Is every white patch is vitiligo?

If the spots are not truly white, but hypopigmented and not depigmented (they don’t enhance by Wood’s lamp), then they are NOT vitiligo and could be any number of different diseases and conditions.

Which cream is best for vitiligo?

Opzelura (ruxolitinib) cream is the first FDA-approved treatment for vitiligo that re-pigments skin. People 12 years of age and older can use it twice a day. Vitamin D3 analogs, like calcipotriene 0.005% cream (Dovonex), regulate skin cell production and proliferation.

Can vitiligo cause liver damage?

In conclusion, patients with vitiligo may develop liver diseases of autoimmune origin, such as PSC.

Does B12 deficiency cause vitiligo?

Skin lesions associated with vitamin B12 deficiency are skin hyperpigmentation, vitiligo, angular stomatitis, and hair changes. Cutaneous lesions that do not respond to conventional therapy can be an indication of vitamin B12 deficiency.

Why do I suddenly have vitiligo?

Vitiligo occurs when immune cells destroy the cells that make brown pigment (melanocytes). This destruction is thought to be due to an autoimmune problem. An autoimmune disorder occurs when the body’s immune system, which normally protects the body from infection, attacks and destroys healthy body tissue instead.

What should vitiligo patients avoid?

Protect your skin from the sun. Never use a tanning bed or sun lamp. Avoid cuts, scrapes, and burns. If you want to add color to your skin, use camouflage makeup, self-tanner, or skin dye. Know the risks of getting a tattoo.
