How Do I Treat Sunburn On My Vitiligo Patch?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
London, UK

I was taking part in a football tournament today. The weather was gloomy but over time the sun 🌞 showed up which is rare in the UK πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§.

I made the silly mistake of not putting on sun block.

Aloe works for me. I would suggest growing an aloe plant. They grow inside well, dont like too much water. Great to soothe skin. Great in general even on non sunburned skin.

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