Vitiligo Specialists FAQ in Palm Desert, CA

Why is my vitiligo suddenly spreading?

The most common cause of Vitiligo spread is considered excessive consumption of Vitamin C through food or juice. Vitamin C accelerates the spread of discolored/ white patches. Sour food like Amla, curd, yeasted or fermented food has a high proportion of Vitamin C.

Does sugar increase vitiligo?

Sugar is another ingredient that promotes inflammation. Too much sugar in the system may trigger a severe autoimmune response, which may worsen vitiligo symptoms.

How can I reactivate my melanin?

Vitamin A, C and B12 are the most needed vitamins to increase the melanin production in your hair. Add citrus fruits like oranges, grapes, pineapple, and melon to your diet. Also eat vegetables like potatoes, carrots, beans, etc. Non vegetarians can try adding red meat, chicken liver, fish, and eggs to their diet.

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.

How do you know if vitiligo is active?

Reported clinical signs in relation to active vitiligo were as follows: Koebner’s phenomenon, confetti-like depigmentations, tri- and hypochromic lesions (including poorly defined borders), inflammatory borders/areas, itch and leukotrichia.

How much vitamin B12 should I take for vitiligo?

In another study of people with vitiligo, oral supplementation with folic acid (10 mg per day) and vitamin B12 (2,000 mcg per day), combined with sun exposure, resulted in some repigmentation after three to six months in about half of the participants.

Which vitamin D is good for vitiligo?

Studies suggest that vitamin D3 increases tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis in vitro [12], which may lead to repigmentation in vitiligo skin lesions. Calcipotriol and tacalcitol, which are vitamin D analogs, are also known to induce repigmentation in patients with vitiligo [13,14].

Does vitiligo mean weak immune system?

Vitiligo is generally considered to be an autoimmune disorder. Autoimmune disorders occur when the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues and organs. In people with vitiligo the immune system appears to attack the pigment cells (melanocytes) in the skin .

How can I increase melanin in my vitiligo?
