Vitiligo, a disease that eats the skin pigments from your face slowly in a huge area. It's very rare though you won't see many people like this but I have seen a man at the bus stop who looked very scary. A white man on the left side and black on the other. It was crazy.

Exfoliating is the answer. There are scrubs and mittens that do the trick. Speak to a dermatologist or speak to your pharmacist they can help. good luck :-)

It may be hereditary (yes, it may be passed on). There are many treatments for it, but no simple cure:\nhttp://www.niams.nih.gov/hi/topics/vitiligo/vitiligo.htm\n\nMore info from the National Vitiligo Foundation web site\nhttp://www.nvfi.org/

To treat freckles that are already present, several safe and effective methods are available:\n\nBleaching creams -- Products containing hydroquinone and kojic acid can be purchased without a prescription. Higher concentrations of hydroquinone (over 2%) require a prescription. These products can lighten freckles if they are applied consistently over a period of months. \nTretinoin -- Sometimes used in conjunction with other bleaching creams, tretinoin (vitamin A acid, Retin-A) also helps to make freckles lighter when applied over a period of time. \nCryosurgery -- A light freeze with liquid nitrogen can be used to treat freckles. \nLaser treatment -- Several lasers, especially ones that produce a green light, can lighten and eliminate freckles safely and effectively. Like cryosurgery, this is a simple and safe procedure with a high success rate and a low risk of scarring.

According to their website, they are using a narrow band UVB process. They state:\n\n"Narrow Band UVB virtually eliminates superfluous and harmful UV by emitting only wavelengths 311-312 nm. Clinical studies show the peak therapeutic effectiveness of UVB to be within the range of 295-313 nm, but wavelengths below 300 nm can cause erythema or severe burning and increase the risk of skin cancer. "\n\nHope this sets you mind at ease!

Go get a consultation with a dermatologist. In extreme cases medication can be prescribed that can have dramatic results. Many times topical creams and cleansers are enough to remedy the problem.

It looks like treatment is aimed at relieving the symptoms.\n\nSurgery to remove the lesions may be accomplished with excellent cosmetic results when the number of lesions is few. However, in many cases the number and location of lesions may preclude surgical excision. Draining the lesions with a large needle is also temporarily effective. Oral antibiotics in the tetracycline family have been tried with limited success. Accutane has also been tried with mixed results. Improvement was seen in some patients while in other patients the condition actually worsened.

I suggest your daughter see a skin specialist or dermatologist. Her problem will be properly analyzed. A skin hygiene program suiting your daughters condition will be prescribed along with any necessary medication. Over the counter medications are expensive and my not be what she needs. See an expert, you obviously love your daughter and this is your best option.

There is no oil, herb, vitamin or moisturizer that has any proven beneficial result for Vitiligo. The closest natural "remedy" is celery as it contains psoralens that increase the skin's natural reaction to sunlight.

yes it is and there is no real cure except for some very expensive and costly light treatments. I have it, but for me it is patchy and I am so fair skinned that I would never consider treating if.  I heard the light treatments are successful on dark skinned people

I suffer from the problem also.  I went to a dermatologist and he prescribed elidel first which worked well for 3 months until my system became immune to it I've also tried pandel my system also became immune to it. the best thing I've found yet is St. Ives Apricot Scrub and a light moisturizer like cocoa butter

I too have had these ugly little skin problems.Isn't it a pain.Because mine is hormonal, its on going.However, I found Aloette Flawless.Two steps of 1.lotion and 2.microdermabrasion.It takes about a week to see great results.It is advised to keep complexions clear to drink  all your required water.It is expensive,but to work and find relief I paid $60.00 for a double kit.It works well with retin a .05%! Great for pore reduction. It is labeled to be a Skin Sebum Perfection Serum.I wish you all the luck ,nothing is as frustrating as skin issues .It is  so hard on a persons confidence.

Vitiligo is considered to be an Auto immune disease.\nIf it is detected quite early and if some parts of the body like the sole of the feet,lower eye lids,lips,finger bone joints and elbows do not have white spots it is likely that it can be cured.\n\nMainly the steroids are introduced along with the treatment for the worms.\n\nHomeopathy claims to cure this but frankly I am yet to see anyone who is cured to 100%.\n\nThere are many medicienes available and you must consult a good dermatologist to get some relief but frankly do not expect any miracle.
