Is There Research Available On Swimming?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Ellicottt city Md

Would salt water pool be ok? Where can i find research on whether swimming worsens vitiligo? Is this a never swim in chlorinated pool or would it work to limit per day time in chlorinated pool and wash immediately after .? I love to swim and this is my daily exercise but I have Vitiligo on my face .

A MyVitiligoTeam Member

I don’t know the answer to that question, but we have an appointment in a couple of weeks and I can ask our dermatologist.

Dermfix Reviews??

Is anyone using the Dermfix lamp at home? What are your thoughts and opinions? I believe it is working but when I tried 1 minute 30 seconds I got burnt badly. Does that mean I stay under that time forever or is my goal to reach maximum dosage?
Thanks

Hi, I could be wrong but I used to put it on before moisturizer and I’d wait a couple minutes (10?) before applying moisturizer.

Should I Go To A Dermatologist?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Greece, NY

I think i have vitiligo I told my mama she said it’s nothing but I told her again and showed her pictures and she said if I think it’s something we could check it

A MyVitiligoTeam Member

Yes! Just to stay a breast on what going on with vitiligo. And you wanna have it diagnosed. On paper, they might find a cure or SSD might give us a check.

Naturopathic Doctor Recommendations?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
El Paso, TX

Good morning all⛅️El Paso will be under 100 degrees today and that is a very good day for me, nice and cloudy.

We don’t have naturopathic doctors available here. Does anyone have one they trust and would recommend? One who has acknowledged and addressed their vitiligo as a whole?

Gracias!
