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.
Can you take a supplement to restore melanin in vitiligo? Here is what the research says about every supplement category — what has evidence, what is pure marketing, and what you should actually consider.
Ruxolitinib cream works well on the face but poorly on hands and feet. Here is why acral vitiligo responds differently and what combination strategies actually move the needle.
Ruxolitinib cream (Opzelura) combined with narrowband UVB is emerging as the most effective non-surgical approach for vitiligo repigmentation. Here is the evidence behind the combination, the practical protocol, and what you can realistically expect.
Vitiligo patients need daily sunscreen, and the guidance changes during pregnancy. Here is which sunscreen ingredients are considered safe in pregnancy, which to avoid, and the practical recommendations for protecting depigmented skin while pregnant.
A patient-friendly side-by-side of every major vitiligo treatment — how they work, what they cost, who they suit, and what the evidence actually says about each one.
Not all vitiligo patches respond the same way. The face responds well to most treatments. The hands and feet are notoriously resistant. Here is a body-area breakdown of what works where, why location matters, and how to set realistic expectations for each site.
Vitiligo patients show consistent gut microbiome differences compared to healthy controls. Whether fixing that gap changes outcomes is less clear. Here is the honest picture.
