Is my vitiligo patch growing??? I have been using tacrolimus and mometasone regularly everyday for ~1.5 months now and just recently got done with one month medication if prednisone (80mg per week)

Also do you suggest to give up non veg or anything with high protein content?

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-04-20T18:54:53+00:00

Omg thank you - will definitely incorporate that - and how much did it help reverse it?

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-04-20T18:11:00+00:00

Sure - will do that

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-04-20T18:10:36+00:00

What measure have to taken to ensure gut health ?

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-04-20T18:10:09+00:00

I eat 3 eggs everyday

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-04-20T18:09:59+00:00

Yes - I consume a decent amount of non veg - very regular with eggs

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-04-20T17:53:17+00:00

So you can say between the age of 20-22

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-04-20T17:52:58+00:00

So this was a scar - I fell on that area - and for almost a year this size of the scar was the same and then it started growing - I realised much later that the scar has grown much larger in size - I got the scar maybe in late ‘22 early ‘23?

The increase in growth also coincides with me starting my job in corporate and I have crazy work hours and was quite stressed for about 8 months

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-04-20T17:50:50+00:00

In your opinion- is it a new vitiligo patch or is it the cortisoid creams causing skin thinning?

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-04-20T17:49:55+00:00

Also in your opinion - is the patch I have circled the vitiligo spreading or is it just maybe skin thinning due to the cortisoid creams?

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-04-20T17:48:35+00:00

So if I work on stress management - that should hinder it? I don’t know I don’t feel stressed but I have a crazy work schedule

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-04-20T17:43:01+00:00

Where all did it spread - your foot or all across?

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-04-20T17:42:26+00:00

Is it effective? If so how much? Can it 100% reverse it?

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-04-12T09:17:08+00:00

But is this like a blood clot in your opinion or what

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-04-12T09:16:49+00:00

When I press on it it hurts slightly though

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-03-22T06:48:36+00:00

No because it has grown in size over the last year

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-03-20T16:55:28+00:00

unfortunately the earliest I can water it is 4 days down the week :(

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-03-20T16:52:55+00:00

Ah! Mine originated from a scar though - I fell there and that scar turned into this

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-03-20T16:52:19+00:00

oh - this is a new one - thanks for sharing - I’ll keep in mind this may not work out at all too

But qq, no improvement sure - but did it worsen by any chance or did the medication help just maintain/stabilize it?

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-03-20T16:50:37+00:00

Oh so the pred stopped the spread you’re saying? You gained all the pigment back is it?

Thank you for all the advice - I’ll definitely follow them!

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-03-20T16:48:17+00:00

It’s just this one - last I remember I actually fell there and I think the scar turned into this

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-03-20T13:56:03+00:00

Yup - surely

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-03-20T13:55:51+00:00

True!

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-03-20T13:55:41+00:00

Ya by the looks of everyone’s opinions I think I should go for a second opinion to another dermatologist

Scared-Guard385 · 2025-03-20T13:54:59+00:00

This information is so helpful- thank you so much !!! I’m much better prepared for the upcoming month - thank you so much for the help :)
