5 DERMATOLOGISTS’ RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH VITILIGO

Vitiligo is a chronic skin disorder characterized by loss of pigmentation, which affects both the appearance and the quality of life of patients.

Although there is currently no complete cure, these 5 tips from Resident Doctor, Specialist Level I Pham Nhat Nguyen – Anh Tu Clinic can help patients care for their skin and prevent the condition from spreading.

1. First: protect your skin from the harmful effects of sunlight.

Affected skin areas lack pigment, making them highly susceptible to sunburn. Therefore, don’t forget to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, wear long-sleeved clothing, and use a wide-brimmed hat when going outdoors.

2. Second: avoid sunbathing or tanning.

Sun exposure can make vitiligo patches more visible. Instead, you can use makeup products — just make sure they are waterproof.

3. Third: protect your skin from injury.

Vitiligo lesions may develop or worsen after skin trauma, so avoid scratches, burns, or tattoos.

4. Fourth: maintain good overall health and a strong immune system.

A balanced immune system and healthy lifestyle are beneficial not only for vitiligo but also for other skin conditions. You can support this by exercising regularly, reducing stress, and maintaining a proper diet.

5. Lastly: take care of your mental health.

Vitiligo can cause anxiety and stress. However, you are not alone in managing it—seek emotional support whenever you feel worried, insecure, or down about your condition.
