Vitiligo
Living with vitiligo can be a lot to navigate, both emotionally and physically. Our skilled dermatologists are here to help you understand your skin and find a treatment path that works for you.
What Is Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks melanocytes, which are the cells responsible for producing pigment. When these cells are damaged or destroyed, patches of skin, hair, and even the inside of the mouth can lose their color. The result is a distinctive pattern of pale or white patches that can appear anywhere on the body.
Vitiligo affects people of all skin tones and ages, though it is often more visible on darker skin. While it isn't contagious or painful, it can be emotionally impactful and may affect a person's confidence and self-image. Many patients live with vitiligo for years before seeking treatment, but getting a proper diagnosis and care plan can make a meaningful difference.
There is currently no cure for vitiligo, but effective treatments are available that can slow its progression, restore color to affected areas, and help you feel more comfortable in your skin. Our dermatologists take a personalized approach to vitiligo care, working with each patient to find the right combination of therapies for their skin, lifestyle, and goals.

Awesome! The staff was simply wonderful. I like a business that is approachable, and know their patients as they enter and exit the building. That's a win-win for me! I like to feel like the sitcom "Cheers," where everyone knows my name!

All staff is extremely nice from the minute you step in the door to the minute you walk out the door. They take care of every need and help you understand everything. They go the extra mile in seconds without hesitation. Love them! I see Holly Musgrove and she is a life safe for sure! My situation is extremely complex to say the least but she hit it head on and didn't just refer me out like most Doctors do. Will not ever use anyone else!!!
HG
I had a great experience at this office. I was able to get an appointment very quickly and the CRNP, Ms.Tao was great. She listened and addressed all of my concerns. Treatment was quick and satisfactory!
Bre M.
This was my first time going to a dermatologist as an adult, after I had bad experiences with a different dermatologist as a kid. Everyone at this office was very professional, and the doctor who saw me was knowledgeable and kind, and was happy to answer all of my questions and listened to my concerns. I will definitely use this office in the future. Thank you for the excellent experience!

Really happy with my experience here. The office is clean, the staff is friendly, and my appointment ran on time.

Julia D.
Amazing team! Very attentive and caring
Julia D.
Tinuke and her team are amazing! I've been seeing her since 2023, and I came in with concerns about early signs of acne. Even though my acne wasn’t severe, I was worried my concerns might be dismissed because it was very minimal but she completely understood and validated how I was feeling. Since then, my skin has transformed and now has a healthy, glowing look. Of course, I still get occasional breakouts (age-related), but I always feel reassured knowing I can count on her for support and honest guidance. Highly recommend!
Julia D.
Great!!!
Julia D.
First of all, the new office is gorgeous! Secondly, I had a hydrafacial with Charu, which was a delightful experience. She is super nice, the treatment was relaxing and has my face feeling cleaner and healthier, and I felt completely pampered the whole time I was there.
Julia D.
I was recommended to Dr Zook. I met with him and he made me feel very comfortable. He explained everything that he was going to be doing. And what I should expect after the procedure. His PA was also excellent. I left there knowing my forhead was in good hands.I definitely we would recommend Dr. Zook To other's.
Julia D.
Dr. Valentin is a superb practitioner; highly competent with great bedside manner.
Julia D.
I had an outstanding experience with Allie Yatros. She was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive. She took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, asked thoughtful questions, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. She is extremely knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable! I highly recommend her to anyone!! The office staff was also wonderful- efficient, friendly, and organized. I cannot say enough good things about Allie Yatros and staff at the Swann office!
Julia D.
Had a great experience with Hillary yesterday. She is skilled and very polite and pleasant while explaining what my skin issues were. I’m returning to see her next month for an excision of a cyst. Will be making all future appointments with her. Note: I didn’t get her name but the lady who was handling numbing/needle was, also, very pleasant and caring about my pain level while poking me with needle. I will recommend this location to others.
Julia D.
I have been to several dermatologist that just wasted my time. But they sure charged. Then I found Dr. Miller and my world turned around. Dr. Miller took my case of blisters just come up on my body any and everywhere. No Dr. military or civilian could treat me without coming up with O results. Then I found Dr. Miller at Carolina Skin Care. I had to drive aways but Dr. Miller was the one that cares about her patient's. She took biopsies from my blister and started out to find out what I had. Dr. Miller never gave up. Even working on weekends searching & testing until she came up with a diagnosis . I just figured this was something from the war ( my team was hit with mustard gas) Dr.. Miller stayed at it. After different antibiotics she hit the jackpot. It has been several months and I'm still blister fee. Dr. Miller I'm sure makes the top dollar. She should she really takes on a personal determination to help her patient's. For me she is the most knowledgeable dermatologist that is out there. Dr. Miller you are a saint. I wouldn't go to ANY dermatologist just to Dr. Miller.
Julia D.
Very informative, kind, and not pushy!
Julia D.
Thanks for getting me in so fast and running it down with what was going on with the pain I was having. It was explained to me so when I left there, I knew what was going on and that everything was going to be ok with past BCC.
Julia D.
Sarah, Annika, and Bill Kras provide excellent service! They listen, communicate well, and actually care about their clients! What a great team!
Julia D.
I had an amazing CoolPeel Tetra laser experience with Sharnel Reed! She made me feel so comfortable and was very thorough, making sure every area was treated. She was great and I would definitely go back to see her again!
Julia D.
So far I have had a positive experience with this practice and time will tell if my treatments have worked well
Julia D.

Julia D.
Very professional staff.
Julia D.
We have been going to Dr. Kang many years. He is a great doctor. The front office staff was not pleasant or welcoming except for the wonderful young woman who checked us in. She made up for their lack of welcoming. There's no reason why the women in the front office can't be nicer. They seem to be too busy chatting with each other.
Julia D.
The nurse was super—efficient and helpful—and Dr. Zook was excellent. This is the first time I’ve felt like a dermatologist was listening to my medical concern and not trying to upsell me cosmetic products and procedures (they have those available, but it’s not why I was there). Highly recommended!
Julia D.
Great first experience and visit with Dr. Rachel. Professional, efficient, and helpful.
Julia D.
You know those medical practictioners who run their office poorly, the waits are long, and the staff treat you like you've invaded their personal space and you're dumb for being there? That is NOT this place. 2 days ago, I found a spot of concern on my arm. I got an appointment within 2 days. I walked in and waited max 10 minutes. My PA (Anjana Patel) listened to my concern, did a couple of feel tests, thought it was probably nothing but since it was a little funny, she biopsied it on the spot. Then she asked if I wanted a whole skin check since I never had had one, which she performed with compassion and competence. She was amazing, and her assistant, Grace, was wonderful too. The office staff was similarly kind and got me in and out quickly. It's obviously a nice place to work, because the office staff was smiling and joking with each other while also performing their tasks with professionalism. Could not recommend more highly. 10/10.
Julia D.
I am very thankful for AA Dermatology and for my provider Taj who has always been patient, understanding and knowledgeable. I am also very thankful that Taj provides advice for women of color experiencing concerns with melanin and afro-textured hair. I have had a great experience and I am thankful for the results I have seen.
Julia D.
Everything went smoothly.
Julia D.
Doctor Martin is excellent.
Julia D.
Brought my 3 year old here to have his birthmark evaluated. They were running about an hour behind- totally fine- it happens. The practitioner we saw was fantastic, thorough, knowledgeable, and very good with my child. My complaint is regarding an undisclosed charge. During his exam she found molluscum lesions- she then applied a topical resin to around 7-10 lesions on his arms. She let me know that it can take up to 3-4 applications to be effective for the lesions (they are still present). I just received the bill for $322.98 for "destruction". I do take responsibility for not asking how much it was going to cost before we've met our deductible. However, it would have been good information to have seeing as I definitely can't commit to 3-4 rounds of $322 for lesions that generally self-resolve.
Julia D.
I highly recommend Tidewater Dermatology….very friendly staff and didn’t have to wait forever to be seen. My exam was thorough and I received great explanations/answers to the questions I asked. I left feeling good about my future visits and felt I was in good hands with Jennifer.
Julia D.
I am a physician and I have been going to see Dr. Bill Kras for at least five years. This practice is very strong in melanoma prevention. Under leadership of well known Dr. Vasiloudes, they are aggressive about removing potentially dysplastic nevi. This is important to me because my father died of melanoma. I was shocked to learn that Dr. Kras has only been in the Derm space for eight years, because he seems so experienced. He is incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to the field. He often speaks of things he has learned from his colleagues in the practice such as Dr. V and dermatopathologists. He is smart, thoughtful, and kind.
Julia D.
Love coming here for my skin care. Everyone is very professional and friendly. I having been under the care of Ken Johnson and feel that he takes the time needed for the examination and answering all concerns and questions. Would recommend Dermatologist Specialist of Augusta to anyone looking for these services.
Julia D.
The AA Derm surgery center is great! Dr. Farley is wonderful, effective, and explains the procedure painlessly.
Julia D.
From the second i walked in the door, all of my anxieties were put to rest. Every one i dealt with was well educated, kept me informed and was able to address all of my concerns no matter how silly they may have been. I feel like they are all my new best friends!!!!!! If i could give 10 stars i would!!! I will be a long term client!
Julia D.
Super easy to schedule an appointment. Very professional staff. Awesome office.
Julia D.
Stevie Dailey PA-C and her Medical assistant are so wonderful! Stevie is so kind, knowledgeable, and patient. She listens to all of my concerns and explains the treatment plan so that I understand what we’re doing and why. I even left the office with a few free skincare samples she recommended . I’m having excellent results with the treatments Stevie recommended for my skin concerns and I feel great about the progress we are making! I’m feeling more like myself again. So thank you Stevie and the wonderful staff at A.A.D. I appreciate you!
Julia D.
Genuinely the nicest staff I've ever encountered in any establishment and a special shout out to Marcus and Hannah for being so helpful.
Julia D.
This place is amazing I got a same day appointment the MA worked tirelessly to get my insurance approval for my medications. They are truly a Godsend when you are tired of the run around of all the other Drs and you need to get help
Julia D.
Top notch dermatology practice! I have been a patient of Dr. Neibyl’s for almost 25 years and have sent many of my friends to him! All if the office staff are terrific!!! Lori snd Michelle are top notch!! Today I met the new NP!
Julia D.
Beautiful office and experience! I had a VI Peel with Charu Jain, CRNP. She was very kind and knowledgeable and helped me choose the correct service for my skin. I really appreciate someone who is honest with me about my needs instead of just letting me purchase a treatment that would have minimal results. She did several passes over my skin as requested and made sure I was comfortable. Here's where she went above and beyond...I accidentally misplaced my post-peel kit and realized when I got home. Her team met me in Baltimore to give me a new kit!! This is beyond 5-star service! My skin was glowing after my peel, and I cannot wait for another one. If you haven't already tried the new Meridiem Annapolis, I highly recommend it!
Julia D.
I have a very good experience with Dr Matthew Zook. Dr Zook is very efficient helpful and very professional. I highly recommend dermatologist Dr Zook.
Julia D.
it was the most incredible place I've ever been.
Julia D.
Practitioner Tinuke Aderemi-Ibitola was very friendly, professional and has excellent bedside manner she explained my options to me so that I could make a decision best for me. The assistant I think her name was Judy was very nice and friendly as well I had a very good visit!
Julia D.
The office staff is professional and friendly. The premise is extremely clean with cozy furniture that's very comfortable to sit on. And, throughout the exam, staff allowed me to ramble on and on about things that were likely of no interest to them, which made me feel so very valued.
Julia D.
My experience under the care of Dr. Malone has been absolutely stellar. She is the best of the best for sure.
Julia D.
Great place with a thorough team!
Julia D.
Doctor's and staff so awesome,Friendly,Caring and very helpful. Love them
Julia D.
Dr. Tiffany Trent and her team are phenomenal. They are kind, helpful and provide exceptional service. Dr. Trent's treatment is effective and I appreciate her not upselling services + products and letting me know what products and home care is not necessary. I've recommended Dr. Trent to coworkers and friends and they have always been happy with their visits.
Julia D.
Great staff and good products. Staff had good advice on what products would work best for me. My skin is clearing up so nice.
Julia D.

One of the best experiences and care I have ever received! After going through pain for years... Finally found a doctor to help with my diagnosis.... I was well taken care of and my problem was solved! I appreciate Dr. Brian Johnson and staff so much! Very clean office, felt comfortable and safe! If you ever need help with your skin this is where you need to go! So Thankful!! ☺️
Julia D.
The Mount Airy office of Anne Arundel Dermatology has been our Go-To place for several years. I have 2 girls 4 years apart and my youngest daughter recently asked to try some alternative acne treatments. We were very pleased to have not one but two different medications as options offered by Amy Spangler. We made sure to make a follow-up appointment right away so we can follow-up under the timeframe that she recommended. Appointments can seem difficult to find in under 3 weeks, but they are usually able to offer alternative appointment times if you call back within a week or so later. I highly recommend this practice which has had Dr. Germanas at the helm since my oldest daughter was an adolescent.
Julia D.
I can’t say better words about the exceptional care I have received at NAD. My previous dermatologist, who solely viewed me as an insurance policy, provided inadequate treatment. In contrast, NAD has been a refreshing change. The staff, including the nurses and doctors, treat me with respect and kindness. NAD has significantly improved my skincare routine and overall well-being. They have provided me with personalized advice on how to optimize my skincare regimen for the best results. Additionally, they have offered various solutions to address longstanding issues that my previous dermatologist failed to address. Unlike my previous dermatologist, who was difficult to reach, NAD offers convenient scheduling options, including same-day appointments and the ability to speak with a nurse for immediate assistance. Having been a patient with multiple dermatology offices in the past, NAD has become my preferred destination. I am confident that I will continue to receive exceptional care at NAD in Suwannee. Thank you for your outstanding service.
Julia D.
They made it so easy for you, everyone was ready for your arrival. The Dr. was fantastic and very reassuring. She had such an easy touch and answered all your questions. I would highly recommend "Skin Cancer Surgery Center".
Julia D.
I was searching for a Black dermatologist on ZocDoc and found Dr. Richardson. My first appointment went very smoothly, and all my concerns were addressed! The staff is very professional and friendly. I had no wait time! I will definitely be back. My previous primary doctor misdiagnosed my skin condition because they weren’t familiar with melanated skin, so I looked for a specialist. I’m so happy I found this office. I will definitely return for future concerns!
Julia D.
Excellent, professional, frienly.
Julia D.
Very clean office with friendly employees! I’d highly recommend. Doctor Boswell did a thorough review and addressed my questions.
Julia D.
Best woman of color dermatologist there is! Hands down! I started struggling with acne again in my 30s, and I’ve been seeing Dr. Boswell for about two years now. One thing I’ve learned is that acne treatment is not one-size-fits-all. What works for one person may not work for another. It took some time, patience, and trial and error for us to figure out what worked best for my skin, but we finally got there! I can proudly say I have ZERO bumps on my face, and we’re now working on my hyperpigmentation! I absolutely love this office! Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming. I’m beyond happy with my results and so thankful for Dr. Boswell and her team. Highly recommend! ❤️
Julia D.
Loved the treatment plan. Thank you Wish my environment supported the improvements I have received
Julia D.
The whole intial process was amazing. Helped me with my insurance issue and afterwards. They deserve an award. I had a panic attack leaving and scared everyone there. They made sure I was ok and didn't let me leave as soon as I came too. They made sure I was extra ok before I could leave the office. I am very grateful that this office is going to help me with my treatment journey. I trust them 100% thank you all for today!!!
Julia D.
I had a very experience with this office. They are very caring and attentive. Lauren Teter and Sammy Kang were absolutely amazing and compassionate in their approach with my skin issues.
Julia D.
Fast and friendly service, willingness to answer questions.
Julia D.
From front staff to Drs and nurses, five stars all the way around
Julia D.
직원모두 친절하고 상냥합니다 조직검사를 했는데 결과가 좋게 나오길 기대합니다

Julia D.
Very professional and courteous, office staff.Assist Riley, and Dr. April were very thorough with my exam and treatment. I highly recommend this facility.

I saw Tami and I loved her. Highly recommend! I also loved the lady at the front desk! She was very helpful!!!
Julia D.
Excellent care & service.
Julia D.
Dr. De Souza is awesome. Very thorough, knowledgeable, friendly and professional. It is obvious she loves what she is doing and cares for her patients! Her assistant Ada is also great! Nothing but great things to say about both. The Memorial office is first class.
Julia D.
One of the absolute best experience at a provider office anywhere ! Such positively here!!
Julia D.
Jen Abbott is the most trustworthy, considerate doctor I have ever seen. She makes you feel at ease and she never makes you feel rushed. She listens to my concerns and she's respectful and kind. All the staff are really friendly and helpful. I've never had to wait very long at all and the office is clean and well run. I feel like a bundle of nerves at most doctors offices, but here I feel relaxed and calm. It's a testament to the environment they have created at Tideway. I'm really grateful for them!
Julia D.
Excellent clean facility with great staff and doctors
Julia D.
Dr. Bill is the best! He helped my daughter get rid of her eczema easy and quick! Thank you 😊
Julia D.
Great experience from start to finish! The front desk was professional and easy to work with, and the back staff was fast, friendly, and knew exactly what they were doing. Candace was awesome—very friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely comfortable. PA Jonathan was also great—very easygoing, personable, and made the whole visit feel relaxed. I honestly felt right at home. Highly recommend!
Julia D.
Dr. Allison S. Is a very caring, professional, and knowledgeable. She is the best
Julia D.
GREAT!
Julia D.
I had the most wonderful experience with Britney Sanderson. She was very professional and knowledgeable concerning the procedures that I desired. Most especially she made sure I was comfortable, understood the procedures that she would be administrating, the after care and took the time needed to answer all of my questions. She made me feel very special. I was totally overwhelmed with the outcome! Thank you Britney.
Julia D.
Excellent office, very busy yet I was in and out quickly.
Julia D.
I had an amazing visit here. Great reception from Ms. Bethllhem and Ms. Shadra with lots of smiles. Dr. James was phenomenal and had my procedure done with a minute. Get here on time and you'll be through an easy process with ease. You must visit here. It's definitely a 5 star.
Julia D.
Outstanding practice with an outstanding doctor she has been able to answer all of our questions and provide support.
Julia D.
Very informative very nice and polite everybody was very professional loved every minute of it this I personally think he's the best dermatologist on the whole Eastern shore and the staff is second to no one believe me 👍👌they were on top of everything an any need you might have.
Julia D.
Charu is absolutely a superstar. She is so knowledgeable and knows the anatomy in and out. She has done by NLF filler and it was just perfect. She took her time to explain everything in detail. She was so careful in performing the procedure. The entire experience was wonderful. Love her.
Julia D.
The office experience is always great. I don’t have to wait long, and the staff is attentive. Another thing, in between visits, I can leave a message on the nurses line with questions. My Physician’s Assistant’s nurse calls me back quickly and interacts with him for getting answers. I am well taken care of. I would like to add to my review because of my ongoing care. I am thankful for my PA, Kevin Blazer, who makes sure I get the proper medication. With the approval process, the department works very hard to make sure all of the paperwork is in order. Consequently, I am making progress.
Julia D.
Again I have to tell people that this is one of the best dermatology office and staff in tampa. I'm very partial because I think they're the greatest. They make you feel so comfortable from the time you walk in the door until the time you walk out. They just plain out make you feel comfortable and fearless. I love them all ❤️❤️❤️
Julia D.
They got me scheduled, in, and seen in a very timely manner. Front desk and medical staff were friendly and efficient. No complaints! Thanks you!
Julia D.
Front office and professional staff were amazing and put me right at ease off the bat! I loved the interactive patient information available in the treatment rooms. It was a positive experience for me and a professional and patient friendly office altogether.
Julia D.
Quick wait time and Dr was nice.
Julia D.
I have been going to Sarah for years and she is an absolute pro. I am always excited to see her, even though she sticks needles in my face! I know I will get exactly what I need. She never pressures me for anything, she's honest about expectations and she answers all of my questions thoroughly. 100% Reccomend.
Julia D.
Had a great visit today. The ladies are wonderful here. Got my Tremfya sample in less than 24hrs because insurance is being cranky about filling it, so to hole me over I got a sample and some injections for my hair thinning. I drive over an hour to come here and would drive even more to have this as my care team!
Julia D.
Very nice clean office !! Staff is friendly and down to earth . I felt comfortable and at ease on my first visit there . I will definitely recommend this place . I left getting with my problems answered , good referrals and sent with pamphlets on my condition. Very informative. 👍 ~ Happy Patient ~
Julia D.
Been going to this practice 10 + years always happy.

World class experience - not your typical medical visit. Smooth and easy welcome by Jessica and her team Anjana , my PA, is a rock star- thorough, gentle and very informative Everyone deserves a standing ovation and a HUGE raise Thank you 🙏
Julia D.
It’s the best; I have had multiple skin cancers including melanoma and the Moh’s surgeons here are the best.
Julia D.
Academic Alliance in Dermatology has always been great.My husband also was a patient and was very satisfied.
Julia D.
This team including Dr. Dhar is knowledgeable, efficient and kind. What more can you possibly expect from a healthcare provider.
Julia D.
fantastic office staff, medical providers and service
Julia D.

Julia D.
Went there for mole on my arm that was inflammed. The PA took her time explaining the procedure and taking the mole off. She was very gentle and the office staff was great. I would definitley advise people to go there.
Julia D.
Atlantic Dermatology is always efficient, professional and accommodating.
Julia D.
There is professionalism and excellent customer service from the time you enter. I love my doctor and her assistant. They make me feel like family and not just a patient.
Julia D.
I have wanted to get my mole checked for years! I am very anxious and have previously went to a different dermatology office and was dismissed. Dr. Tanya was sooo amazing and attentive! Dr. Tanya and her assistant calmed my nerves and they removed my mole without a hitch! I recommend them to everyone especially if you have anxiety! They offer so many treatments and are very informative! Thank you for taking care of me and removing my mole!
Julia D.
Good 👌 people...
Julia D.
Dr.Hartley is a very knowledgeable and caring physician always a pleasure to interact with him.
Julia D.
The time it took to make the appointment or have the appointment confirmed in the email and text message sent and response so I know when to show up was wonderful to help had me seen in the correct amount of time the Dr and her helper were very professional wonderful place keep coming back
Julia D.
Kind , polite, efficient. The Dr. and all other staff were very good. If you like being seen quickly and efficiently by people with a smile and an excellent Dr.

Julia D.
Excellent
Julia D.
One of the best in the field!!
Julia D.
I highly recommend this office. Everyone was super friendly, honest, and transparent about information I needed to know and advice. I was only there a short time and got seen by the doctor not even 5 minutes after being sent to a room. The Doctor, Dr. Josue Droz, was wonderful and calm, and the examination was fast! For my first dermatology appointment it was a delightful experience.
Julia D.
I go here for my light treatments , being allergic to the sun is not fun but they make my 2 treatments per week very smooth. Everyone is very nice & a pleasure to see every visit. Awesome place !
Julia D.
Going to a Doctor that’s going to tell you if you have or don’t have skin cancer is very stressful. Atlantic Dermatology was absolutely amazing. I felt very comfortable and treated with the care I was looking for.

I say enough good things about Codi!. She is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and truly cares about her clients. She took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything thoroughly, and made me feel completely comfortable. My skin has improved so much, and every visit feels like a reset for both my skin and my confidence. Highly recommend! I also cannot recommend my injector Brittany Sanderson enough! She is incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, and takes a very conservative, thoughtful approach. She listened to my goals, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt completely comfortable. The results are natural, refreshed, and exactly what I wanted. I trust her 100%. Such a fantastic group of providers at the Farragut office!

I have been a patient of Dermatology Associates for many years. I’ve had many treatments and surgeries to treat pre skin cancer and skin cancer issues. They have always been very professional, personable and caring. I have to compliment Emily at Dowel Springs for taking exceptionally good care of me during my recent blue light treatments! Dermatology Associates the people you have working there are your greatest assets and Emily is one of the best.

Your Vitiligo Questions, Answered
No. Vitiligo is not contagious and cannot be spread through skin contact or any other means. It is an autoimmune condition that develops from within.
Vitiligo occurs when the immune system destroys melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin pigment. Genetics, autoimmune factors, and environmental triggers all appear to play a role.
There is currently no cure for vitiligo, but effective treatments can slow its progression and restore pigment to affected areas. Many patients see significant improvement with the right care plan.
The progression of vitiligo varies from person to person. Some patients experience gradual spreading over time, while others see little change. Early treatment may help slow progression.
Vitiligo affects people of all skin tones, but it is often more visible in individuals with darker complexions. It is equally common across all racial and ethnic groups.
Treatment depends on the extent of your vitiligo, your skin type, and your personal goals. Your dermatologist will evaluate your skin during a consultation and recommend a personalized care plan.
Results vary based on the treatment and the individual. Phototherapy, for example, often requires multiple sessions over several months before pigment restoration is visible. Your provider will set realistic expectations during your appointment.
