Tips & Warnings
Some of the things that people are doing unnaturally to help treat the white spots associated with vitiligo is to get skin grafts, autologous melanocyte transplants and tattoos.
The oral psoralen isn't favored among patients because of the unpleasant taste, the large dosage needed and the nausea that is associated with it. Also there is no control over what part of body will receive the desire effect so pigmentation may change in other areas of the body.
Consult with a doctor before using any type of psoralen therapy.
