How to treat vitiligo

Treatment 1: surgical treatment: in recent years, full-thickness skin transplantation of vitiligo lesions, PUVA treatment after recovery, and melanocyte self transplantation have been successfully reported. Now there are many people choose surgical treatment, but not everyone is suitable for surgical treatment, surgical treatment time is faster, but later easy to relapse.

Treatment 2: large dose of vitamins: such as vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin P long-term use. There are also reports of the use of aminobenzoic acid (p-aminobenzoic acid, PABA) oral or injection, oral corticosteroids. If the choice of drugs for the treatment of vitiligo, it is best not to choose Western medicine treatment, the best choice of Chinese medicine treatment, the effect should be better, without any side effects.

For patients with large area and generalized systemic disease, the curative effect is good and the adverse reactions are small. Patients with vitiligo all over the body, or the area of vitiligo is relatively large, can take this treatment, the effect is better.
