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.

If you have a doctor, see if he will prescribe ProActive. However, if you want to save money, wash your face at least 3 times a day with a good astringent. Wash first in hot water to open the pores, cleanse with an astringent and rinse in warm water. Then Rinse your face again with cold water to close the pores. This works well, but it will take a little while to clear the blemishes up. My daughter has this problem, and she does what I suggested, and her face is clear now. Try not to use hair spray, because it clogs your pores. Another thing my daughter uses is a mud facial masque, it's by Helene Curtis, not really expensive. She puts it on before she goes to bed, (you're supposed to wash it off after 15 minutes) but she leaves it on all night and washes it off when she gets up. Good luck!

Continuos and long term use of any topical calcineurin inhibitor is not recommended cause it might bring side effect to us. Furthermore, Elidel is actually not recommended for children below 2 years old. ( but if prescribed by dr. maybe has his reason) . You can refer to the source i gave.\n\nMy little brother has eczema too, he use betamethasone and eumovate. but he never use it for more than 2 months. (what i mean is that he wil stop using occasinally, usually two weeks before continue using again.)

It sounds like psoriasis....have him use cetaphyl heavy cream or cetaphyl lotion on it. Also have him use the cetaphyl cleanser on those areas also instead of regular soap. Regular soap will make it worse. If that does'nt help after a couple of weeks he should go to a dermatologist.

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/

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.

I am 37 and still have these issues. U can see a dermatologist, they most likely wiill give you antibiotics. Any regimen you get even at wall mart will work, a wash, medication, mosturizer, just have to really stick with it. Acne really is a hormonal issue.  You cannot control it at 17. just keep clean and stay on a regiment. If it gets severe, cystic then a derm will give them shots of cortisone to relieve it. There is also a home electic stimulator I saw at walgreens, its very expensive over 100 that is suppose to work well, will eventually try it myself. Good luck

Fellow 27/f here...I have a couple suggestions for you. I have struggle with this problem since my teen years and have literally tried everything!!  I finally went on Accutane at 18 and it was so horrible, but I stuck it out and it got rid of my acne, minus a break out here or there. At 26, my acne came back in Full force! I am determined never to harm my body with horrible drugs like I did when I was 18, so I am trying a more natural approach. \n\n1) Use hydrogen peroxide as an astringent after you wash your face. It will help kill off the bacteria on your face and eat away at some of that nasty stuff.\n2) I haven't tried this, but I read today that you could dab honey on a pimple and put a bandaid over it...overnight. Apparently, honey has something in it that produces hydrogen peroxide, so putting it on the pimple will basically release this stuff over night on your pimple. Interesting I thought!\n3) If you are looking for a great face line that will help you get that stuff cleared up, get rid of fine lines and other blotches in the skin, I know of a great one. So good in fact, that I signed up this month to be able to buy the products at wholesale, because they are that good. Probably on here, this comes across as a weird sales pitch, but I'm 100% honest when I say that this product line changed the way I looked at the cosmetics and health and beauty industry.\n\nDid you know that cosmetic products virtually aren't regulated at all? They can basically put whatever they want in the products, and they do. This includes animal byproducts...you said you eat organic foods, but what are you putting on your skin?  I just realized about a month ago, through research, that before I have taken 1 bite of food in the morning, I have put large quantities of dead animals on my skin. GROSS! So I made a switch.\n\nThe products I am talking about are by Arbonne International. You can look them up online. If you email me, I would love to give you more info and see if they might work for you too. I am not in this to make money, but I will "sell" you the products for the wholesale cost I get if you are interested in trying them. No pressure whatsoever, but it is worth looking in to. Best of luck.\n\n*******************************\nLisa, if you consider this "regulation" then you need to get your head checked.\n\n"Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act, cosmetics and their ingredients are not required to undergo approval before they are sold to the public. Generally, FDA regulates these products after they have been released to the marketplace. This means that manufacturers may use any ingredient or raw material, except for color additives and a few prohibited substances, to market a product without a government review or approval."\n\nThis is a DIRECT quote from the FDAs webpage. Source posted below. \n\nAs to having to go to a "Professional", I am and have been going to a dermatologist for years. NEVER to have my acne cleared up EXCEPT when on accutane. And if you read the testamonies AGAINST that, including my own, you will NEVER touch the stuff. My dermatologist, with all his medications, can't take care of my acne apparently...or doesn't want to, because it isn't in his best interest. Neither could the other 3 dermatologists I've been to in my life. So, I took it upon myself to research and research and research. I am providing what I have found...and miraculously, IT IS WORKING! So Lisa, keep you nose out of it, because obviously YOU haven't been through this. For all your KNOWLEDGE, you know nothing.\n\n*******************************\nI've also posted a link to a list of cosmetic "ingredients" that are or may be derived from animals. Now, you may not think too much about animal cruelty, or that may not be a huge factor for you, but think of it this way. Animals that are grown and bred for specific purposes are treated with antibiotics,

I have it. There is no cure, only treatment. I use MetroGel 1% on my face and avoid triggers like alcohol.  Many light skinned people age 30-50 get it and it can be mild or quite severe. It's also very misdiagnosed at first because it only appears as flushing at first.  As it progresses, it is easier for dermatologists to diagnose it.\n\nThere are many herbal and natural remedies people use to help control it. One of them is Burdock in tincture form.

Keratosis Pilaris. I have it and all 3 of my children have it (my daughter having it the worst). \n\nIt can appear on the arms/legs and face. There is no cure, but it can be treated. Check out http://www.helpforkp.com or http://www.keratosispilaris.org for more information.

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

My eight year old has exzema. It sucks. For natural cures, try a baby oil bath. Just make sure to scrub the tub when you are done! Pat your skin down when you get out of the shower and always moisturize. See if your parents will take you to a dermatologist. They are fairly inexpensive ( no insurance) and well worth it. ANY good skin cream during the day just read the label....make sure it hays no alcohol. \nAveeno works really well for us. Good luck!!!

My little boy went through this about a year ago so I feel your pain! I bought a treatment over the internet called Zymaderm from www.cbrmed.org. It's an all natural treatment made from tea tree oil,iodine and something else(I'm at a loss at the moment) It took a week or so to get the oil, but it worked wonders on my son! I put it on him once a day. Usually right before bed. After only 2 weeks, all of his bumps were gone! He had around 100 of these things on his chest. If I remember right, I paid around 38 bucks for the oil, but I promise you it's worth every penny. It will stop the spread of the bumps and it's much less painful than having them removed by the doctor. He's only got a couple of scars from the bumps, they were caused not by the oil but by the ones that were removed by the dermatologist. Trust me, from one mommy to another, try the Zymaderm. On the website, you can chat with someone and they'll answer all your questions. It was the best 38 bucks I've ever spent. My son is bump free now and there's no sign of them coming back. Please email me if you need any help. I know what your going through and how frustrating it is.

There are many products that will help. Go to a drugstore and ask the pharmacist. If it's very bad, you may need to see a dermatologist.

Oh, I am so sorry for you both. I would go to a naturopathic doctor and get her off all that stuff. You can get rid of this condition but because of her age, I hesitate to give you too much info. Her body is building mucus and her adrenal glands are probably stressed and her poor liver is trying to process all that medication. Doctors and meds are good but if you aren't getting results, you need to find a reputable ND. In a short time she should be completely well with no meds. Please look into this. My daughter was on similar meds when she was young and it really played havoc with her spleen and liver. It took 3 months with an ND and she was finally well. Because of all the drugs, she developed a horrible case of eczema. It almost covered her whole body! It is completely gone. Yes, there is a cure for eczema. I had it too and we have been free of it for 9 years. I had allergies and asthma and that is gone as well. My daughter is 20 and very healthy now.\n\nA good chiroprator with herbal knowledge might be your answer too. There are other choices.

my 8 month old has had skin allergies since she was a newborn. she also has baby eczema. her doctor prescribed elocon...i think thats how you spell it. anyway, at the pharmacy, they can give you a generic which is a whole lot cheaper, but still works wonders. before the doctor had given me the precription, my sister in law had already told me about the cream. she's a nurse in the allergy department of hospitals. any way, the itching definitely has subsided, but hasn't totally gone away. i have noticed though that when i put a few drops of baby oil in her bath water that it keeps her skin from drying out and helps to prevent some of the itchyness. i tried lotion, but that also gives her an allergic reaction. \n\nmy best suggestion would be to try different suggestions and see whay works best for your child. although eczema is eczema, each child will react differently to things. also preventing the itch is a whole lot better than trying to treat the itch. keep her moisturized with a hypoallergenic formula, keep her clean, treat the eczema every night with the elocon or equivalent, and let her know that scratching will only inflame the area. good luck to you and your daughter.

Boy our son had only 1 big one. We tried the freeze it over the counter stuff ... it too grew like tiny tentacles and so we headed to the dermatologist to freeze off twice before it stopped.\n\nHe told us the acid in the over the counter... probably irritated and started to get infected.  He said eventually the over the counter would work, just take alot longer but my son kept poking it so this was just quicker. He had to do the treatment twice cause he said it probably would come back.  Only charged for the inital visit so it was worth it.
