About Vitiligo Treatment
What I Believe About Vitiligo
Safed daag (white patches) can mess with your confidence, but it's not a dangerous disease inside your body. Mostly, it stresses people out because of how it looks. My main aim is simple - help you control it and feel better about yourself.
How I Treat Vitiligo
After treating 5000+ people in 21 years, I've kept things straightforward:
- First, I focus on stopping more patches from showing up. Allopathic medicines are usually the starting point - no jhanjhat (hassle) if you stick to the plan.
- Next, we work on bringing your real skin colour back - usually see 10-20% recovery every month if things go right.
What I Actually Offer
Therapies at my clinic aren't just fancy names - I pick what fits your skin:
- Allopathic medicines for Vitiligo are the base. They help freeze the spread.
- UVB therapy for Vitiligo and excimer laser for white patches - these light therapies wake up your skin's pigment cells. If you live far, I can guide on using a portable UVB machine for home use.
- Vitiligo surgery for stable patches - especially for stubborn areas like lips or fingertips, but only if things are stable for over a year. It’s a minor grafting job, not a big operation.
What You Should Avoid
Ek zaroori salah (important advice) - please, don’t go for tattoos or 'skin color' inks. They can actually make things worse, turning patches black or green, and blocking real treatments later. Trust a proper dermatologist, not random advice.
Finding Your Sahi Raasta
My job is to sahi raasta dikhana (show the right path) for your skin. Whether you visit me or send photos online, I’m here to guide you through it.
