Vitiligo Research

[Dr Helen Webberley]

Hello, there is always research going on in the background, even if we are not aware of it. Have a look here at a recent article:

Dear John,

Many thanks for your question. There is ongoing research into vitiligo and potential new treatments. Unfortunately, however, it can take many years from showing a treatment works in the lab and this being translated into readily available medical treatments.

You mentioned that vitiligo is embarrassing and I hope you are aware of The Vitiligo Society and Changing Faces. Both are fantastic organisations of support; Changing Faces are also able to help with camouflage cover which may be of interest.

I hope this helps and answers your questions to some degree.

Best wishes,

Dr Anjali Mahto
