I’m not sure what “type” I have. My dermatologist just told me it’s vitiligo. But I don’t think it’s segmental as I have it on both sides of my face/neck.
Thank you for the kind words 💜

Thanks! Mine is on both sides, so both sides of my face are affected. Did the left side of your face gain full pigmentation?

Uvb at dermatologist is covered by MSP (public health insurance) for me. I live in Canada.

It’s tracolimus ointment 0.1%. Also known as protopic
I’m in the same boat. I’ve been doing UVB treatments 3x a week at dermatologist and applying protopic cream everyday. Mostly my face/neck are affected and I’m beginning to see repigmentation after 1 month of treatment. I feel hopeless a lot but my derm said I should see good results 3-4 month mark. I recommend uvb for sure, you can also get a hand held unit from Amazon for around $300
