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 have been seeing Dr. Grayman for years. She continues to innovate and is aware of more than just the status quo in the area of skin care for many different types of people. I love that she collaborates with her colleagues in dermatology so that her patients can get the best evaluation and treatments available.
I am seeing dr. Debra for many years now. Primary for my rosacea. She is always very attentive and caring to my needs and concerns. I feel comfortable and at ease , while I know I am receiving the best possible advice and care. She has soft and calm nature , kind and respectful of her patient and very knowledgeable about her field of work. Will definitely continue my 6 months routine check ups.
Each visit has been very pleasant informative.
The doctor and her PA were very knowledgeable and efficient in diagnosing my issue and getting on the road to better skin. There was no trial and error meds given , I was given what will work.
Dr.Grayman was patient with my eczema concerns and just wonderful to talk to!
