Home Care Treatment For Vitiligo
Our Specialist Dermatologists have developed a tailored home care programme to support patients with vitiligo in their home. Our home care programme for vitiligo provides information on how to use over the counter products and prescription medication at home for maximal effect, as well as important discussion and thought support information for patients and their families. Each of our packs are designed to travel with you throughout the seasons, and provide practical guidelines and products, as well as provide ongoing support for social situations and family discussions.
Home Care Basics
You will need to learn how to take care of your skin that has lost pigment in a different way that you have been used to.
Taking care to minimise cuts and grazes is important, as these are traumas that can trigger the onset of vitiligo in those areas. Wearing long sleeves and long pants can really help with that if you are not living in a hot climate.
In the shower, try to have cool, short showers, that are less likely to strip the oils from your skin.
Use a soap free wash. Pat your skin dry, don’t scrub at it…it’s sensitive like that.
