5 Worst Ways to Treat Your Vitiligo
If you have vitiligo, you've probably been handed a hundred different "cures" — from family, friends, strangers in the supermarket, and online ads promising your patches will disappear in 30 days. Some of that advice doesn't just waste your money — it can actually make your vitiligo worse.
In Episode 4.1 of The Vitiligo Experience, I walk you through the 5 worst ways people try to treat their vitiligo (plus 2 bonus mistakes people often miss), and what to do instead.
What's covered in this video:
The promise of an "overnight fix" and why it always fails
Being impatient with treatments that actually work
Using the sun to fix your white patches (and the Koebner risk)
Self-prescribing steroid / prescription creams
The option closest to me: not considering depigmentation
Bonus: why vitiligo is not just a skin condition
Bonus: cover-up tattoos & micropigmentation

Warning- Monobenzone is not a skin lightener cosmetic. It is used by people with vitiligo to permanently remove the pigment of their skin to make it match their vitiligo skin. Do not use it if you do not have Vitiligo. It can cause Chemical vitiligo in people with normal skin.
