Vitiligo Treatment
Vitiligo treatment involves various methods to manage depigmented patches on the skin caused by the lack of melanin. Common treatments include topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, and phototherapy using narrowband UVB or psoralen plus ultraviolet A (PUVA). Other options include cosmetic camouflage, depigmentation, and skin grafting. The goal is to stabilize or slow down the progression of the condition, although results vary greatly between individuals.
In Nepal:
Vitiligo treatment in Nepal typically includes a combination of conventional medicine, herbal remedies, and Ayurvedic practices. The use of herbs like turmeric, guduchi, and ashwagandha are common. Cost can vary from $50 to $300 per session.
Additional:
Some treatments may include daily herb intake or external applications, so regular visits might be needed.
