“No cure vitiligo” by hearing this people should not get disheartened as several re-pigmentation treatments are currently available. PUVA is the most widely used treatment which helps effectively in giving color to the white patches present on the skin. PUVA (Psoralen Ultra Violet A) works by sensitizing the skin to the tanning effect and by exposure to ultra violet light type A it help in re-pigmentation. Psoralen is used for sensitizing the skin. This treatment is proved successful in bringing back the lost pigment on the face, trunk, upper arms, and legs but it is not found helpful in re-pigmenting hands and feet.
Some dermatologists also prescribe corticosteroid creams for restoring lost melanin but if the white patches are small. Long use of this treatment is prohibited as should be avoided because of the side effects like thinning and withering of skin.
