Eyelid vitiligo is distinct from periorbital vitiligo and raises specific safety questions about which treatments can be used near the eyes. This guide covers what is safe, what is not, and how to approach treatment in this sensitive area.
Facial vitiligo is the highest-priority treatment target for most patients — and fortunately the area with the best treatment response. This comprehensive guide covers all treatment options, zone-specific considerations, and realistic outcomes.
Acral vitiligo on the feet and soles is among the hardest vitiligo to treat. This guide explains the biology behind poor treatment response, which approaches are worth trying, and what realistic outcomes look like.
Vitiligo on the hands and fingers is one of the most common and most treatment-resistant presentations. This guide explains why acral vitiligo is harder to treat, which approaches have the best evidence, and what realistic outcomes look like.
Vitiligo on the lips is visible, high-contrast, and treatment-resistant compared to facial skin. This guide covers why lip vitiligo is harder to treat, which treatments have the best evidence, and how to manage appearance in the meantime.
Scalp vitiligo raises specific questions about white hair patches, the intersection with alopecia areata, and how to apply phototherapy effectively to a hair-covered area. Here is what the evidence shows.
Thyroid disease is the most common comorbidity in vitiligo — affecting roughly 20% of vitiligo patients. Understanding the connection, knowing which tests to request, and monitoring appropriately can meaningfully affect your health outcomes.
Focal vitiligo appears as one or a few small patches in a limited area. Most people want to know one thing: will it spread? A long-term study of 52 patients found 23% progressed to generalised vitiligo over 7 years. Here is what the data says about who is at risk and what to watch for.
Depigmented skin has zero melanin defence — it burns faster and tans unevenly. Here is exactly how to protect vitiligo patches, which sunscreen formulas to use, and how phototherapy patients should adjust their routine.
Gut health, stress reduction, diet, and supplements in vitiligo — a grounded look at what the research actually supports and where the evidence is genuinely thin.
Home narrowband UVB is one of the most effective options available to vitiligo patients — but getting the dose, timing, and safety protocol right matters. This guide covers how to use a home NbUVB device safely and effectively, including starting doses, progression, side effects to watch for, and how to protect sensitive areas.
For many patients, stopping vitiligo from spreading is a more urgent goal than repigmentation. Here is what the evidence shows works for stabilization — and what the triggers are that drive active spread.
