Vitiligo Specialists FAQ in Cape May Court House, NJ

Does CBD oil help vitiligo?

Restoring the Th1/Th3 balance is thought to be the key mechanism of action, with a possible additional direct inhibiting effect of CBG and CBD on melanocytic apoptosis. These data indicate that CBG/CBD oil significantly reduces the symptoms of vitiligo.

Is vitiligo caused by stress?

Hormonal response to psychological stress such as cortisol has a role in the development of vitiligo. Physical or environmental stress is involved in the onset and disease progression. Psychological stresses can also contribute to the onset and progression of vitiligo.

Should I get vaccinated if I have vitiligo?

Some wonder if the overactive nature of the immune response due to vitiligo will cause additional side effects to the vaccine, but it is unlikely because it’s not the entire immune system that is hyperactive, just a small portion responsible for killing the pigment cells.

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.

What can be misdiagnosed as vitiligo?

Sarcoidosis can occasionally cause light spots on the skin that look like vitiligo, although it usually looks quite different. Sarcoidosis can also affect the lungs and other organs and should also be treated aggressively.

What should I avoid if I have vitiligo?

Since vitiligo is related to inflammation, many suggest avoiding pro-inflammatory foods. Following an overall healthy diet should limit foods that may trigger inflammation.

Is there a blood test for vitiligo?

Diagnostic Tools Our dermatologists often diagnose vitiligo based solely on a physical examination. If doctors need more information about how the condition affects your skin cells, they may suggest a skin biopsy or blood test.

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.

Who gets vitiligo the most?

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

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.

What makes vitiligo worse?

A bad sunburn can worsen vitiligo. If you have a lighter skin tone, there’s another advantage to protecting your skin from the sun. Without a tan, the lighter spots and patches are often less noticeable.

What are the stages of vitiligo?

Localized: Skin patches are found on limited areas of the body. Generalized: Skin patches are scattered around the body. Mucosal : Vitiligo affects the mucous membranes found in the mouth and/or genitals. Focal: Skin patches remain in a small area of the body without spreading in the first two years.

What happens if vitiligo is left untreated?

If vitiligo is not treated, it may spread extensively to involve various skin areas. Rarely, some patches may go away or decrease in size. Although vitiligo is neither dangerous nor causes symptoms, such as pain or itch, the sufferers may be upset and stressed because of the way their skin appears.
