Beauty is more than skin deep
Vitiligo is a pigmentation disorder that mostly affects the skin. Patients with vitiligo can deal with significant emotional stress, particularly those who present with highly visible areas of vitiligo on the face, hands, arms, and feet. Adolescents, who are naturally self-conscious about their appearance, can be devastated by widespread vitiligo.
If your dermatologist specialist confirms that you have vitiligo, she or he will discuss treatment options with you. Some treatment options may restore lost skin color. However, it is important that you avoid the use of tanning beds and sun lamps because they can burn skin that has lost pigment. If you desire to add color to your skin, consider using cosmetics. This is a safe way to add color to your skin without undergoing treatment. Self-tanners and dyes last longer than makeup, and works best for white spots. Choose self-tanning products that contain dihydroxyacetone.
