Hello all — skin seeding technique has been performed in many doctors offices in South Korea. This treatment can regenerate skin/pigment. I feel like doctors/derms are not aware of this simple procedure. This treatment is quick and uses .4-.5 mini punch grafts from behind the ear and transplants them.

Hey everyone, I have Hypopigmentation from what I suspect is a burn or post-inflammatory hypo-pigmentation. Would Pimecrolimus effect be permanent if it worked since my depigmentation is not necessarily immune related or vitiligo as such? submitted by /u/throwafterusing19 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Got a small ish patch on my neck and has gone red in the past and now before the rest of my neck burns at all. Should I be covering it in the sun? Letting it go red and heal a day later? Will it damage or heal the skin? submitted by /u/Infinite-Peace-868 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Has anyone had any success repigmenting hands? Most of my vitiligo is on my hands, I’ve read it’s the hardest area to repigment and I’m wondering if it’s even worth trying. I don’t want to waste my time putting a greasy ointment all over my hands twice a day with no chance of success. If you’ve had success please describe what you used and how long it took and what percent repigmented. Thanks! submitted by /u/mybluerat [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Is it safe to use, my derm told me to apply once a day for a month, then once every 2 days for a month and once a week for a month. Can I use UVB light on my balls also? I'm concerned because I read of a cancer risk from the ointment, is this false? My whole scrotum is almost covered and a small patch on my penis and leg now submitted by /u/Ok-Mine-6110 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey everyone! I 22(F) think my vitiligo has returned. Just over 10 years ago I developed a white patch on the right side of my forehead. The doctor (a complete douchebag who scared the living daylights out of me) gasped, told me it was vitiligo, wrote it down on a piece of paper and told me to do my own research. It began spreading quickly and somehow kept getting whiter. After a while, it remained as it was and didn’t change at all (based off of this, I’m guessing it was segmental vitiligo). I’m brown so it was pretty noticeable and as a teen, I was extremely self conscious of it. My mum fou ..read more

Male 22: I am a very pale, white male but my … you know… is quite a bit darker than the rest of my body. On the head / foreskin area is where the pigmentation begins to differ a bit… the tip of the foreskin and a spec just below it seem to be my normal skin tone… I’ve only realised this recently.. I am 99% sure this has been a recent occurrence and isn’t something i’ve just somehow missed over the years… is it something to be concerned about? Does sudden development of it mean anything in particular? I don’t have it anywhere else on my body nor do any of my family have a history of it. Im not ..read more
