Hey there. I have been suffering from vitiligo since i was 14. I'm now 16. I have it covering my neck and parts of my face. The day i was diagnosed i started Uvb light treatment. For a while that was successful and i began to repigment in places. I had this treatment twice a week, but with school and other commitments it was hard to get all the way to the other side of town for treatment twice a week. I kept going once a week, on weeks when i could make it to the dermatologist. To cover up my vitiligo i used dermablend. This provided good coverage but ruined my clothes and was heavy and sticky. I have just recently started using microskin. I'm interested to hear other peoples stories, remedies and coverups. Especially from young people like me. I'm also interested to hear from anyone else who uses microskin.

Hey trust me I know about the tough schedule of UV light treatments it's hectic. But my dermatologist told me before I started that it's a commitment. I have a career I coach football and I have three sons. But it's up to you. They have so many time slots pick one that u can make and don't give up on it I hope u find time for the treatments since u said it was working. Good luck.

hay, yes i agree, the UV light treatment is probably the best treatment option out there. Its just, because i am onlyy 16, i rely on my dad work schedule as to when i can make it to treatment. If he can't take me, then i miss out on the treatment. Are you using any products to cover your vitiligo? If so, what?
