If body cells are not producing melanin for some reason ,there should be a some or the other way to tackle it, to activate melenocytes... Need your advise to overcome the condition.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease. It is also considered as genetic disease. There may or may not any family history of vitiligo. In your case, I feel that, vitiligo is aural vitiligo.as the patches are on feet, hands,fingers and lips. It is found that the aural variety is more resistant to treatment. Still, you should not lose patience. Just continue treatment for few years. Trimethoxsalen tablets and cream or lotion on hand and feet patches. I usually advise in my patients and to take sun rays for few min daily after application of lotion. Tacrolimus may be applied on lip areas. Continue treatment under observation of dermatologist. You may leave treatment after few years, if no response. I hope you got my answer. Thanks.
