What Is Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is a skin concern characterized by a loss of pigmentation, resulting in irregular white patches that may spread. Vitiligo is thought to be caused by an issue in which the immune system attacks your body's melanocytes, the skin cells that are responsible for making pigment. In addition to affecting your skin tone, vitiligo can also cause your eyelashes, eyebrows, and hair to lose color in patches. Vitiligo is not contagious and does not affect your overall health, but it can create a great deal of embarrassment or distress among those who are living with it. There is no cure for vitiligo, but with help from the experienced team at Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics, you can control your condition and achieve a more even skin tone. Don't let vitiligo impact your confidence or social life. Schedule a consultation at our Orlando, FL office to learn more about treatments for vitiligo and other skin conditions.
How Do You Treat Vitiligo?
Thanks to advancements in skin treatments, we have a number of effective options for dealing with vitiligo. Our Orlando, FL dermatology office provides topical corticosteroids and JAK inhibitors to suppress the immune response that causes vitiligo. We may also recommend oral medications for some vitiligo patients.
What Are the Symptoms of Vitiligo?
Vitiligo's main symptom is the loss of pigmentation in certain areas of the skin. There are several other symptoms that are common in individuals with vitiligo, including:
- Loss of pigment around the lips and inside the mouth and nostrils
- Skin that burns easily in the sun (especially the depigmented areas)
- Itchiness
- Prematurely white or gray hair
Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics Reviews
I started seeing Dr. Grayman in March for my hair and alopecia. In the last several months my skin has cleared and my hair is filling in. I'm very happy with the care I've received and her staff is great never once have I felt rushed. She is a direct communicator which I love. I specially sought out an African America dermatologist and she is more than worth the wait. I have had to wait in office once or twice but I wait anytime I go to the Dr. It happens. Patience and kindness goes a long way.
I saw 3 Dermatologist before Dr. Grayman. She was the only Doctor to properly diagnose my condition and resolve it. I have not had an outbreak in more than 3 years!! Very professional and informative 👏 👌
I absolutely love Dr. Grayman and her staff. They are friendly and knowledgeable. My skin thanks her. My skin looks amazing since I’ve been going to Dr. Grayman. I would definitely recommend her for your skin needs.
Dr Grayman genuinely cares for her patients. She takes the time to listen and is very knowledgeable. I’ve been to 2 dermatologist about a scalp condition but she was the first doctor to demonstrate sensitivity, understanding, patience, and provided a treatment plan that actually gives me some hope. Thank you again Dr Grayman.
She was very friendly but businesslike. Had a sense of humor. Answered your questions and explained anything you didn't understand. I would recommend her to anyone. Also, a very clean and neat office. Thanks, June H.
