Is melanocyte transplantation an option for treating stable vitiligo? I've had it for about 8 months now and wondering if this surgery could help
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, melanocyte transplantation can be an option for treating stable vitiligo, particularly in cases where other treatments have not been successful. It involves surgically transferring melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) from a healthy area of skin to the depigmented areas of vitiligo. This procedure can help repigment the skin and restore color

How exactly should I use this Salactin paint for my warts? Do I need to soak them in water first, or should I just apply it directly on them? I'm a bit unsure about the proper way.
