Virtiligo

Hi I have been suffering from Virtiligo since I was 17 but in the last 2 years it has really started to spread quite a bit. It is now on my arms back and legs. I have researched a few products online and and have come up with 2 products that look promising. The first is Leucotin and the second is Pigmentium. My question is has anyone used any of these products or products like it? and do they work????

" I have not found anything to help my lack of color i am okay with it now not like i used to be mine started when i was 21 and now i am 44 soon to be 45 and i am almost white with a few brown spots. i don't go out side until it gets later in the evening or i get a major burn so i use number 50 sun block which does help some. i was given some options years ago but sadly the pills were too expensive and there was no guarentee they would work they were supposed to take all the color out of my skin and then it might come back i said no thanks i wil stay like i am and if it gets worse oh well so i will be more patchy. i am now getting white not grey hair which is good because all of my fmily was grey befor they were 40 so i am lucky i guess but from what i understand i will not be able to color my hair when it goes completely white and that is totally okay too because i have made my peace with my skin problems. I think in a world where every one looks the same i stand out i tell you with my skin like this i am an oddity. "

" I have not know more about these products. But I recommend you try to use the products made by the herbal substance, because it is the quality of the herbal medicine that these have no side effects and this quality is very supportive and for the treatment of vitiligo.
Another plus point of the herbal medicine is that these are more cheaper and easy to use. "

" I have more research on some products and the treatment about the vitiligo. I think the suiteable treatment about the vitiligo such madicine as you describes. There are many other treatment options for the skin condition vitiligo like cosmetic surgery,Autologous skin grafts, Autologous melanocyte transplants ,Totooing, Topical steroid therapy and Psoralen photochemotherapy but all these treatment are very costly and success rate of such treatment is also a questions marks.
Another suitable option for vitiligo treatment is the topical or herbal medicine.
Which are more cheaper treatment than any other treatment of vitiligo and have low risk of side effects. If you found the two product safe keep on using and remembet never be discourage regarding the treatment, because distress causes more increase in the skin condition vitiligo. Treatment of vitiligo may take 6 to 24 month, so always be pateint.
