Looking For Diet Recommendations

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Coventry, UK

Does anyone follow a particular diet following your vitiligo diagnosis? What would a typical breakfast/lunch/dinner look like?

I'm reading lots of literature on reducing or eliminating dairy, fish, meat ( aside from chicken) and citrus fruits, turmeric, some vegetables, junk food (obviously) and a whole host of other things. It appears one would need to follow a really strict diet to trial and error what triggers patches.

There are also articles suggesting folic acid, vitamin B12 and vitamin… read more

Has Anyone Used J.A.K. Inhibitors With A UVB Combination?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Oro Valley, AZ

I would like to start my daughter on this treatment, but before I invest in a light box, I wanna make sure that people have used it and that they’re getting good results. I never heard of it until I watched Dr. Pimple Popper.

Is It Even Worth Using All These Creams And Medicines To Try And Stop The Spread Of Vitiligo?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Port Elizabeth, ZA

I used a cream called Protopic 0,1%

For the first 3 months it removed a spot on my neck. After a while it stopped working and the spread of my vitiligo started to increase.

I also was recommended to take vitamin D tablets (1000 ICU) and Zinc. I have found that the spread is not reversing or slowing down. Seeing that there actually isn't really a cure, I have come to a point where I have stopped using the creams.

A MyVitiligoTeam Member

I too have found that nothing works I've learned to deal with it in every spot that I have received begins as a heart and I still have many that look like hearts. I think it's a kiss from God and to… read more

Does Vitiligo Spread More Rapidly Due To Hormonal Changes Such As Menopause?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
North Tonawanda, NY

I started menopause 7 years and found out that vitiligo started spreading like wildfire around my ankles, feet, legs and expanded more on my elbows and hands. Has this happened with anyone else? Is there a link between vitiligo and hormone changes?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member

Yes, I think so. When I first had it, it was during the beginning of menopause. I assumed it was hormones, asking my doctor about it, but they said it would not cause vitiligo, but it happened at… read more

Martial Arts And Vitiligo

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
North Wales UK

Does anyone know anything on the effects of martial arts training and vitiligo. My daughter who has vitiligo has shown an interest in Taekwondo. My experience of Karate was that next day after a session it was where did you get bruised and count the number. Forearms were always susceptible since they were used to block kicks and punches

Does getting hit trigger vitiligo? And does hitting things cause vitiligo?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member

thank you for the information. Owen
