I'm a 28-year-old woman dealing with vitiligo. Back in 2014, it was almost gone, and I got married, which was great, but about a year and a half later, it returned. Now, I'm going through treatment again with steroids, and the patches keep spreading. I don't have a child yet, and I'm worried because my husband is concerned that if we have a child, they might also suffer from vitiligo. What are our options?

It's essential to work closely with your healthcare provider to find the treatment plan that works best for you. Keep in mind that results may vary, and a combination of treatments may be needed.

I've got these dark patches on my face and started using Dermadew Aloe lotion. Should I be applying it all over my face or just on the dark patches? I'm a bit confused about the best way to use it and could use some advice.

You can apply Dermadew Caloe lotion on the affected areas of your face where you have dark patches. Use a small amount of lotion and gently massage it into the skin until it is absorbed. Apply it twice daily for best results.
