Is There Cure Vitiligo

Cure for vitiligo is based on improving your skin’s appearance by restoring its colour. However, the effects of treatment are not usually permanent, and it cannot always control the spread of the condition.
Your GP may begin treating your condition with:
sun safety advice
a referral for camouflage creams
topical corticosteroids
No further treatment may be necessary if, for example, you only have a small patch of vitiligo or have very fair skin anyway. You may be referred to a dermatologist (specialist in treating skin conditions) if further treatment is needed.

Vitamin D for vitiligo
If your skin is not exposed to the sun, there is an increased risk of vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is essential for keeping bones and teeth healthy.
Sunlight is the main source of vitamin D, although it's also found in some foods, such as oily fish.

To avoid potential problems like rickets (known as osteomalacia in adults), you may need to take vitamin D supplements.
Other treatments for vitiligo
Your dermatologist may recommend trying more than one treatment, such as phototherapy combined with a topical treatment. Other possible treatments include:
excimer lasers – high-energy beams of light that are used in laser eye treatment, but may also be used in phototherapy
vitamin D analogues – such as calcipotriol, which may also be used with phototherapy
azathioprine – a medicine that suppresses your immune system (the body’s natural defence system), which may be used with phototherapy

oral prednisolone – a type of corticosteroid, which has also been used with phototherapy, although it can cause side effects
