Asking For Someone else, Mother, Female, 50 Years old, Pakistan
PT. is suffering from vitiligo, she’s using medications but no improvement, it’s spreading to other body parts too.. she’s avoiding white foods and citrus fruits.. kindly suggest what will help? And what foods to avoid?
consult the dermatologist.
avoiding whote food doesnt cure vitiligo.
There is no "cure" for vitiligo. Sometimes patches go away on their own. But when that doesn't happen, doctors can prescribe treatments that might help even out skin tone. Some of these treatments are things you can try at home; others are done by a doctor.
PLEASE CHECK WITH THE DIET
Diet for vitiligo prevention
bananas.
apples.
leafy greens, such as kale or romaine lettuce.
chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans.
root vegetables, especially beets, carrots, and radishes.
figs and dates.
Do and don'ts for vitiligo?
Vitiligo skin can easily lose its moisture; using naturally derived emollients can help it retain its vitality. You should always avoid soaps with a higher acidic nature. Use mild, non-acidic body wash, glycerin based soaps, etc. Also, remember to apply moisturizer right after you take a shower..
Protein – In case you yearn for animal products, opt for chicken breast,
fish, and organic eggs. It is good to cook them lightly. For vegans, stick to kidney beans, chickpeas, mushroom, and lentils. Dairy products can be consumed
CLEAR THE MYTH
many believe that Vitiligo can be caused by drinking milk shortly drinking after eating fish, sour foods like citrus fruits. its just a myth
Infact, many studies have shown that antioxidants such as folic acid, ascorbic acid, lipoic acid and vitamin B12 increase the effectiveness of phototherapy to cure vitiligo.
