There is a chance that early vitiligo can be cured, but the treatment program does not work for everyone, and there have been cured patients, so there is a chance that it can be cured. Commonly used treatments are photochemotherapy, transplantation surgery, medication and so on.
1. Photochemotherapy: After applying photosensitizers externally, long-wave ultraviolet rays combined with photosensitizers are used to irradiate the affected skin to achieve the treatment method, but it is prohibited for children and pregnant women.
2. Transplantation surgery: There is autologous epidermal cell transplantation surgery, which is to transplant melanocytes from healthy skin areas to the affected skin. However, the efficacy of treatment is easily affected by the age and the location of the white spots.
3. Medication: Including topical and oral medications, topical medications include vitamin D3 derivatives such as tacalcitol or calcium-modulated phosphatase inhibitors such as pimecrolimus, etc., which can be applied to the affected area, and care should be taken not to apply them around the eyes. Oral include glucocorticosteroids, such as prednisone and other drugs.
The earlier the vitiligo is treated and the smaller the area of the white spots, the greater the possibility of cure. You should go to the hospital in time for treatment under the guidance of the doctor to avoid delaying the condition.
