Guest guest Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Hi, My husband has vitiligo. The first spot of vitiligo started around 4 years back on his legs. we went to dermatalogist and he prescribed psorcon ointment. He applied it for nearly 6-7 months and then stopped applying it. After sometime the white patch disappeared.It started again at the same point in legs around a year back. It was growing very slowly so we did not pay much attention to it but last 6 months it is increasing rapidly. Six months back it started on forehead near the hairline and then on fingers and the back of palms. Now i feel it is spreading on my lips. Around six months back we went to a homeopath practitioner and she gave some medicine but it did not help. After two months when homeopath practitioner told she cannot handle my husband's case, we went to an ayurveda practitioner and he gave ayurveda herbs like sudarshan ghanvati, Liv52, saafi, copper bhasm and purim.He has taken these medicines very regularly but the white patches are increasing very rapidly. Please guide me what should my husband do? We are in US right now. As we are not sure if the treatment my husband is taking now is effective we have tried to contact a few ayurveda vaida in India but they all give different treatment. Since the white patches are spreading so rapidly we are very worried. Please guide us what is the best way to handle this disease. We have read the previous messages regarding vitiligo and we are trying our best to strict with the diet. Thanks for all the help and making this website where people like us (in need) can put our query. Thanks, Amita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
