Can I Use Sun exposure/ UV with Vitiligo-disease Oil?
All local medicines used for re-pigmentation in vitiligo are basically photo sensitizers which differ in potency and in safety. Sunlight/UV light will obviously increase the response, but an occasional patient may show an exaggerated response even to the gentlest medication and get a skin reaction in the form of sunburns. It is recommended hence that you start using UV/Sunlight for a very short time in the beginning on a limited area, and if the response is favorable you can gradually increase the exposure. Can i use sunblocks or makeup on the area under treatment. All local medicine used for re-pigmentation of vitiligo/ hypo-pigmentation, including Vitiligo-Disease will need some degree of sun exposure for their success (direct or indirect). It is hence preferred that you do not use camouflage or sun blocks to allow adequate exposure to sunlight.
