Best Vitiligo TreatmentsVitilogo Treatments

One of the biggest myths about vitiligo is that treatment is pointless, since the condition can’t be cured. However, many treatment options show results in containing the symptoms of vitiligo or simply hiding them. Discover the best vitiligo treatments, from topical to surgical options, that can be used for most patients, but aren’t as effective for all of them.

The first step in fighting vitiligo is the regular application of sunscreen with a SPF of at least 30. This both prevent the regularly pigmented skin to go darker and protects the patches of unpigmented skin (macules) from harmful UVA radiation. Once the skin is properly protected, the best vitiligo treatments include skin color restoration and skin bleaching, but the first step is usually covering up the affected areas.

Covering Up Discoloration

Regular make-up can only cover up vitiligo at the very onset of the condition, but once it spreads, it becomes impractical. Usually, vitiligo starts up in areas of skin that are regularly exposed to the sun, including the face, arms hands and feet. Even if they’re not exposed to UV radiation, areas like the armpits, groin, navel and genitals are also common for vitiligo-related discoloration.
