General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

The goal of treatment is to stop or slow the progression of pigment loss and, if you desire, attempt to return some color to your skin.

The latest advances are included at this link which includes Psoralen, PUVA, and Narrowband Ultra Violet. http://mayoclinic.com/health/vitiligo/DS00586/DSECTION=treatments-and-drugs.

If the patches are small the distressing color can be camouflaged with melanocyte transfer and regrowing the skin over it.

A lot of research is pending in the treatment but yet there is no complete cure for vitiligo at treating the cause.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
