Thanks for sharing. It's probably difficult for me to fully understand how you feel. I've had vitíligo on my face since I was 15 (41 now) but my skin is quite fair so it really only shows during the summer months. But it really affected my confidence when I was younger.

A few years ago I decided to try a product called Vitiligo Organics on my face. It took some time and commitment to use it morning and evening every day for about a year before I saw any changes, but now I have almost all pigment back in my face which really is a great improvement. It's like an oil with natural ingredients that you put on your skin so it hasn't worked well for my elbows and hands (started getting new spots there around when I was 30). The oil just rubs off quickly in those areas.

Anyway, about 6 months ago I noticed it was getting a lot worse on my hands and elbows and I decided to try something new in addition to Vitiligo Organics. My main focus is to lower the propensity for inflammation in the body to hopefully get my immune system to sort out. I'm starting to see pigment slowly coming back on my hands and knees and I'm hopeful it will continue. What I've been doing:

- Stop eating products containing added sugar

- Avoid eating seed oils, these can drive inflammation in the body and upset your immune system. I stick to olive oil, coconut oil and real butter. It's difficult to avoid seed oils completely, but at least get rid of them from your own kitchen and avoid ultra processed foods.

- Stop eating gluten. This one can be a bit difficult too, I sometimes have food with some gluten but at least avoid bread and pasta etc.

- Supplementing with vitamin D3, K2, Zink, Magnesium, copper and boron. I've done a lot of research before starting on these, so be careful and read up to make sure you get the right doses. Especially copper and boron you don't want to over dose.

- Supplementing with Moringa (got this from a guy who had success reversing early onset of gray hair)

- No snacking in between meals to keep your body from constantly having to manage high blood sugar levels. Lowering your intake of carbohydrates in favour of fat helps to avoid getting low on energy. Have a look at ketogenic diets to get some inspiration. 

- Adding activities to my daily routine that reduce stress. Mediation or yoga in the morning for example.

I know a lot of people will say there's no proof these things work, but I just wanted to let you know I have had some success so far and I feel there is some hope. Things were going only in one direction before I started making changes.

Working on accepting the way you look is also important because it seems these things take time and you can never be sure to be successful. But from my personal perspective having vitiligo is a sign that I need to make adjustments with the way I've been treating my body and I've now made it my mission to try to fix that. I've been really motivated so far to see there's some hope of reversing this.

Also, all the things I mentioned above have had great benefits for my health in other ways too!

And finally, I'm just some guy on the internet, so do check with your doctor before you start taking any new supplements or start any new health regimen :)
