Vitiligo cure?

[Campaigner8]

I started to get depigmentation on my face and one hand starting about five years ago. The Dermatologist told me that it was Vitiligo and that the only partial cure for this condition was PUVA therapy and narrow-band UVB phototherapy. I was to go twice weekly for a year. I opted out as I did not have the time due to work. Also, no guarantee it would work. After doing some online research I found that some Vitiligo sufferers were using an over the counter cream called 'Blue Copper 5 Firming Elasticity Repair' with supposed success. I purchased some and have been using the cream on my facial and hand spots that are depigmented while being extremely skeptical at first. After using the Blue Copper cream for about three months, I could hardly believe that the white marks on my face and hand were returning to normal. pigmentation. It takes about a year for the white marks to return to normal pigmentation according to other Vitiligo sufferers who have used the cream.  It is kind of expensive at around $100 U.S. an ounce. A one ounce jar lasts me about three months. Has anybody else used tis cream with or without success?

I've used the cream on my back for vitiligo and surprisingly it worked! I would recommend people to try it. Vitiligo is a weird problem because the solution is not crystal clear. One might find relief using one method, while others in another. It's important to try what you can and check off what works and doesn't work for you.
