Thank you,

Just Curious When It Comes To Non-segmental. How Fast Or Slow Does This Progress?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
McLean, VA

I’ve read so many stories of people’s spots spreading fast and mine (at one point I was getting one once a month) and now (I believe) 3 of my spots are reverting back. Does that mean mine is going away? I’m confused. Thank you.

Yes ma’am! I’ve watched the vitiligo spread on my scalp. I had it in spots but I believe the increase in stress has caused it to spread even more.

Pompano Beach, FL

has anyone seen a huge flare up after takimg the vaccine. Did a dr give any advice ?

But was it Covid, the vaccine or the stressors associated with all? I know that for me, I can map the spread by the stress I was experiencing.

IV Lamp Or Laser

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone use a IV lamp or laser phototherapy at home? Has it been successful? Which one do you use? Can you please share a link
I looked into the clinics that does the laser but it’s so expensive and my insurance doesn’t cover it

Saw this post from 3 months ago but didn’t see any responses. Very interested as I recently got diagnosed

Has Anyone After COVID-19 Vaccination Noticed Increase Or Flare Up In Their White Spots?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Indian, AK

I got vaccinated in May 2021 with my first dose and by the end of July 2021, I noticed a sudden flare up and rapid progression.
I don't know if it is because of the vaccine because I was on antibiotics for a month in June.
This also raises another question, has anyone noticed increase in their vitiligo post/during the use of antibiotics?

Thank you all in advance.

A MyVitiligoTeam Member

I really think my Vitiligo was caused by these COVID-19 vaccines
