[@Shekhar5558]

Can lip vitiligo treated with phototherapy and trimop forte cream???? Please suggest 😭😭😭😭🙏😭🙏😭🙏😭🙏😭🙏😭🙏🙏😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@allysophia756]

Most vitiligo doesn’t respond quickly to the light therapy, or it takes a very long time of going before you see anything happen. Some treatments you can use at the same time, not sure about that one, but I know most injections are ok.

Good

[@DesertRidgeline]

just curious, what if you have psoriasis where the sock goes?

[@allysophia756]

The doctor prescribes exactly which area gets light treatment and the dose (strength) of light. I would assume you can expose that area for very short periods of time. I’m in the US, not sure how different it is here.

Does it hurt? Light therapy I’m going to have it on Monday

No not for me It has improved my chronic skin condition greatly

Hello, i have eczema and am considering trying this. Do you mind telling me about your experience and what her you felt it worked? Also whether you know whether you can get it on the Nhs?

[@tyronelorenzovalentio3414]

@@IbrahimIbrahim-ed3uv first of u need to obviously get an appointment from the gp and go through all the trials and tribulations in regards to prove that all the medication and creams used dosent ease ur flare ups of prickling itch before the doctor books u a Demortolagist. But yes It starts very small and u would last 30 secs in that light machine. The dosage increases each time u go there . I go 2 times a week for the month. I am pretty sure I finish next month before I am discharged. Because of the risk of skin cancer you can only have so many light therapy in ur lifetime because there isn’t a cure but this helped manage my itch greatly.

@@tyronelorenzovalentio3414 wow! That’s great! It doesn’t hurt but thank u for telling me x

Its doesnt seem to be working for me :(

[@kupasrana1450]

Efe Colak mines eczema and for 11 weeks ive been doing and and it didnt work only a little bit ☹️

[@fadeskywards1245]

@@kupasrana1450 Perhaps its not eczema. Have you undergone biopsy of your lesions?

[@iralol3771]

Doesnt work for everyone. My dermatologist recommended Climatotherapy for 30 days (I live in Israel next to the dead sea). You can try dupilumab, it helps most people but I dont know whats the criteria to getting it prescribed in your country.

[@RollAndBacon115]

I hope your doing better now man, im really struggling right now getting treatment soon though :)

[@allysophia756]

What is your diagnosis? It works best for psoriasis. Other diagnosis like vitiligo take very long or sometimes not at all. I have only seen one patient who responded immediately to light therapy with vitiligo.
