Narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) Phototherapy

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Gainesville, GA

I have not discussed this with any doctor because it scares me. However I have the question of whether this is to return the skin color and is it an ongoing treatment? Is it expensive treatment?

Thank you,
Martina.

What Other Conditions Did You Get After Getting Vitiligo?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
San Carlos, CA

I’m wondering what other conditions people got after being diagnosed with vitiligo. Or before for that matter. I’ve seen some discussions of psoriasis. What other conditions did you get? Did they come before or after the vitiligo?

Can Couple Both With Vitiligo Get Married?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Ithaca, MI

I've been quite stressful lately since my girlfriend told me she has vitiligo too. I have vitiligo on neck, hand, body and leg. She told me she has some on back and chin.

I have multiple questions
1. What's the odd of inheriting vitiligo to children if only one of us have it?
2. What's the odd of inheriting vitiligo to children if both of us have it?
3. Any way to minimize or prevent the effect to children? I'm just quite concerned that if our children grew up and complain about this to us.

Vitiligo On Hands

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
McLean, VA

If anyone would be so kind as to answer this question. I know everyone’s spots are different and unique, but was just getting a sense of an idea on what’s going on with my hands. Even though this can be different for everyone, this helps me get a bit calm in understanding how it happened to others, plus I LOVE hearing everyone’s story about how it started with vitiligo. This helps me not feel so alone with this next chapter of vitiligo.

I pray this doesn’t seem intrusive to anyone. So if… read more
