Vitiligo is the world's difficult disease, is a disease of the blood is the lack of melanin in the human body, once suffering from vitiligo, at first the area is small, will actively cooperate with the treatment, spend a lot of money investment, suffering from vitiligo in the area of about a year or so is not too big, there are a small number of people do not proliferate, the vast majority of the rapid expansion of the vitiligo, once suffering from vitiligo is not necessary to go to the treatment, in addition to the impact on the aesthetics of the other, on all aspects of the body The patient must be positive and sunny face, cheerful and happy mood, to accept this fact, calmly and frankly face to maintain a good state of mind, to face the future life, personally believe that there is really no need to continue to treatment.

Hello, vitiligo can be cured, there must be a reason why the treatment is ineffective, as long as we find the reason, the right medicine can be cured, so it is still necessary to continue treatment.

Why is there a need to continue treatment if it doesn't work?

1, what does it mean that the treatment is ineffective? In vitiligo clinical diagnosis and treatment above, the treatment is invalid refers to vitiligo to receive treatment, but in the treatment period but the white spot proliferation of the situation, which on the one hand is the problem of the treatment, on the one hand is the patient's own problem. The treatment is effective is to accept the treatment, the white spot is no longer spread and controlled, or the white spot is recovering the state.

2. Why do we need to continue treatment if it is ineffective?

First of all, untreated vitiligo it will not heal itself or disappear by itself, once triggered by triggers or by external stimuli, it will appear to worsen.

Secondly, vitiligo is more difficult to treat once it spreads, so you have to treat it earlier for a better chance of recovery.

Finally, if vitiligo is left untreated and allowed to develop at will, or even to develop into generalized vitiligo, then it may cause a variety of complication symptoms, like pernicious anemia, patchy baldness, psoriasis, malignant tumors, bronchial asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and cataracts, which may endanger the body's health, or even endanger life.

According to my years of experience in the treatment of vitiligo, if it is primary vitiligo, complete cure is difficult; compared to secondary vitiligo has a certain cure rate, but must have a few conditions: First, the onset of time is not long, if the occurrence of more than two years of complete cure is difficult; second is the patient's age, if too big, such as more than fifty years of age due to the decline in their own immune system, complete cure is difficult; third is the occurrence of the site and the rate of cure is directly related to the relative speaking! Comparatively speaking, the cure rate is higher when it occurs in the trunk, head and face, while it is more difficult to cure when it occurs in the end part of the hands and feet.

Vitiligo, as a multimorbid disease with an unknown cause, makes it difficult to have a treatment that actually works, at least for now, and any doctor, specialist around the world is actually in the process of figuring out how to treat it.

The community boasts that this disease can be treated liar more, so special reminder, but where the treatment of vitiligo ads, do not believe, I do not speak of white ads 100% is a liar, 99% is a liar or have.

There are many ways to treat this disease, but all of them are trial and error. You should go to the dermatology department of a larger hospital and stick to one treatment for two to three months, then change the treatment if it is not effective.

Hello, I am a pharmacist in charge and I can help you with this question.

A friend of mine's child had vitiligo, but was cured later. Because it was found in time, only a few white spots were found on the back of the child's neck, the area was small, and it was gone after timely treatment.

Can vitiligo be cured or not? It depends on the specific situation. Vitiligo is a skin disease caused by the loss of melanocyte function in the skin. Vitiligo is easy to diagnose and difficult to treat because the cause of its development is not yet very clear.


Generally speaking, if vitiligo appears on the face, neck and other parts of the body, the treatment effect will be better. There is also the fact that timely detection, timely treatment, and the correct treatment, the better the treatment effect will be.

Vitiligo grading

Vitiligo is graded by the area of albinism.

Mild: less than 1% of the white spot area;

Moderate: 1%-50% of the white spot area;

Moderately severe: 6%-50% of the white spot area;

Severe: greater than 50% of the area of white spots.

If the white spot area is less than 3%, you can use topical hormonal drugs to treat it, but be careful not to use hormonal drugs on the eyes.

If you are going to use strong or super-strong hormones, be sure to use them under the strict guidance of your doctor.

If the child is younger than 2 years of age, a topical medium-acting hormone is recommended, and intermittent administration is best.


Topical calcineurin inhibitors include tacrolimus and pimecrolimus, noting that tacrolimus ointment should only be used at 0.03% concentration if used in children, and that concentrations greater than 0.03% should not be used in children.


Pimecrolimus 1% may be used in children 2 years of age and older who are not immunocompromised.


If after three or four months of treatment, there is no noticeable effect, you can stop using hormone medications, as they will not be effective if you continue to use them.


If new white spots appear in the last 3 months, it is necessary to consider systemic hormones, which can be taken orally or intramuscularly to help stabilize vitiligo. After oral hormone, if there is relief, you can consider gradually reduce the dosage, the specific need to professional doctor's judgment.

Thanks for the invitation, although vitiligo belongs to a kind of easy to diagnose and difficult to treat skin disease, but in recent years a lot of clinical practice proved that vitiligo is not incurable. 特别是治疗刚有好转的时候很多的患者半途而废导致白斑肆意扩散,还有一种现象就是一部分患者对于自己太过放纵,不注意忌口食物以及生活作息不规律等等很多的原因引起白斑又再次的出现。

A large number of clinical recovery cases proved that the child suffering from vitiligo recovery rate is much higher than other age groups, because the child's metabolism will be relatively fast, so the child suffering from vitiligo must not be halfway, as long as the encounter with the right treatment program, the cure is still hopeful.

Nowadays, there are many treatment modalities for vitiligo, and there are many patients with repigmentation, and many clinical practices have proved that vitiligo has a high possibility of being cured.

When a child has vitiligo and treatment is not working, it is important to consider if the treatment is not appropriate.

Vitiligo is very difficult to heal on its own, and generally speaking, the vast majority of patients need the intervention of drugs, phototherapy and other means of treatment. And there is no pattern to the onset of vitiligo. The white patches may not expand for years, but there are patients whose white patches expand rapidly and develop into a large area in a short period of time.

So people with vitiligo need to seek timely medical attention if they want to circumvent the possibility of such a persistent generalization. In addition vitiligo has an impact on the child's physical and mental health, so continued treatment is recommended.

It is worth noting that there are still significant advantages to treating vitiligo in children:

First, the onset of vitiligo in children is usually relatively short, and the function of skin melanocytes has not been completely lost;

Secondly, children's bodies are in the active age of metabolism and their immune function recovers relatively quickly;

Thirdly, children's organism recovers quickly and their own organ function is more active, so they can absorb the drugs well, which can effectively improve the therapeutic effect;

Fourthly, children have relatively more time to spare than adults, especially using the summer and winter vacations for intensive treatment, which is very favorable to the recovery of the disease.
