Taking precautions and doing steps told in part one, Vitiligo can be controlled to much extent. However it’s still not enough to completely get rid of white spots. Further treatment requires application of tropical corticosteroid and Tacrolimus ointment on white spots. Now these are some medicines which you should not get over the counter and start using without a dermatologist prescription. We strongly suggest taking advice of your doctor before using medicines described in this article.

Based on the fact that our own immune system is responsible for destruction of melanin cells and hence causing white spots, treatment can be done by impairing immune system near the skin of white spots. Tacrolimus is known to do this effectively and safely. Only side effect seen on patients using tacrolimus for long period (3 months and more) was thinning of skin and slight discolorations. However these get resolved themselves without any need of further medication ones and white spots are gone and patient stops using tacrolimus.

Effective method for treatment using these ointments is to use tacrolimus 0.1% ointment applied on the white spots by rubbing it gently until it gets absorbed in skin in morning, preferably after shower. At night use of tropical corticosteroid like Mometasone Furoate cream is advised to speed up the healing process. If the patient has darker skin then spots are very prominent and need additional medication to bring melanin back. Repigmin tablets taken orally 45 minutes before sun exposure speeds up the production of melanin in skin and helps in reducing white spots. Ask your dermatologist for correct dose. Within 2 months of treatment noticeable reduction in size of white spots is seen. If all steps are followed strictly and patient does not get any kind of stress during this time, healing of white spots completely is possible within a year but still depending on the size of spots it can take some time. Let us know your thoughts and any medication if you know which has been found effective in Vitiligo treatment of just anything you would like to tell us.

The cause

Vitiligo is one of those skin problems whose cure is not found yet, research’s are done but still scientist are not able to find why skin start losing pigment a some places. Generally in irregular shape, skin starts losing melanin which gives color to skin and a white skin patch is seen. Such white spots when appear on visible part of body like face, hand, neck etc becomes a problem. There are certain triggers which can induce this skin condition in certain people while others no matter how much exposed to such triggers will not get Vitiligo, something to do with genes. If you have Vitiligo and before you start cursing your genes, there are certain medicines which fool our system to remove the symptoms of Vitiligo.
Before we talk about medicines, let’s see what those triggers are. One of the strongest trigger is emotional stress. A person exposed to continuous emotional stress can develop Vitiligo. Another trigger is over long sun exposure. Besides these external factors, there are some internal triggers which are caused by increase in amount of toxins in body.

The treatment

First of all the person with Vitiligo condition should change his/her lifestyle. Sleep on time, go to bed as soon as you start feeling sleepy and sleep for at least 7 – 8 hours. Remove all kind of stress as far as possible and live a happy life. This is very important for treatment of Vitiligo.

Secondly the person should start taking healthy diet which does not mean compromising on taste, remember that person has to life stress free and without any kind of sad feelings in life. If the patient is given bad tasting but healthy food, it may not do much good. So the thing is person would be allowed to eat what he likes but not eat those which will increase toxins. Food items that should be avoided are alcoholic beverages, unhygienic food etc. Unnecessary medicines should also be avoided like painkillers etc.

Develop and internal feeling that you can fight with this skin problem and you will become normal soon. This is again very important.
Keep fast for at least once in a week, this helps removing toxins in your body.

Avoid prolong sun exposure. Wear cap, full sleeves shirt to save your skin for sunlight if you can’t avoid the sunlight. However certain amount of sun exposure is good. Early morning and evening sun exposure for 10 minutes is very effective for regeneration of melanin and healing white spots of skin.

If you drive a car then sometimes you must have noticed fatigue and you might have not given it attention thinking of just temporarily weakness. Problem can be with your car too! After some usage the driving may not remain the same as it is with a brand new car but you can do some bits to keep it running like “out of showroom” and most importantly save yourself from unnecessary fatigue.

When we drive the car, we have so many things to do drive car safely on road that not for a single minute we are relaxed. This lead to brain not giving you feedback of how hard your clutch pedal has become and how much pressure you are putting on brakes and accelerator. Even gear change may not be as smooth as before but since it’s a small change that we don’t notice it but it doesn’t mean its not affecting our body.

Next time when you start driving your car, take your car on a quite and lonely road where you can concentrate on the feedback your car is giving and not risk others on road while noticing all this. Drive the car with calm mind and see if you need to put more pressure on clutch pedal than you needed before or just anything that is causing discomfort. Stop and make a list of it. Next time you go to service, get those all fixed with your full satisfaction. Before you go for any major repair, it will be better to check a new model of your car. Suppose you feel that clutch is tight and your service center suggest clutch overhaul then first check a new car in showroom which will give you feel of exactly “how much” tight is your car’s clutch. If there is only slight difference then tell them to change clutch cable only and see if that brings the clutch smoothness and lightness back to normal.

Other cause of fatigue is longer drive on congested roads. Traffic means you will have to change gear frequently, use clutch also again and again, basically you will be involved in doing many task for longer time that will strain your body and mind. Avoid routes that are prone to traffic jams. Also carry some slow and soothing songs with nice tune that you should listen on low volume, it will keep you relaxed and you won’t get irritated easily.

Use AC if it’s hot outside and even if you feel you can do without it, switch it ON. We don’t feel much heat because when door glass are rolled down, we get lots of air circulation but under the seat there is no air circulation and without our knowledge its getting too much heated there.

Footwear also play important role. If you wear shoes with thicker soles, it gives less control on all the pedals operated by foot. Wear shoes with thinner soles but not too thin either. Just see which of your shoes gives best control and ease of operation as it can vary from person to person. I like wearing thin sole sandals as they give me best control and comfort while most people like proper shoes.

Growing age or other factors like trauma and health problems can start showing its sign on facial skin. There are cosmetic surgeries done for this to improve skin but many people do not want to undergo any surgery yet they want a good looking younger skin.

This technique of treatment requires dermal filler training because trained hands can get much better results.

Very few people know how much beneficial is Pomelo for your health. Forget the benefits; most of us don’t even recognize this fruit. We have a tree of this fruit and anyone coming to our home asks what’s that big fruit is how it tastes and all sorts of stuff. It’s a citrus fruit and I will say that it doesn’t taste great. It’s slightly bitter, sour and slightly sweet. However this fruit is best for people who are diabetic or having any kind of liver problem. This medicinal property of this fruit is known to few people and hence we don’t see this fruit commonly in our fridge. The fruit has quite large pulp but it’s always recommended to eat with pulp rather than extracting the juice and mixing sugar which is not going to be much healthy drink anyway. However, if you don’t like the taste very much, you can take it with salt and pepper as that will reduce its bitterness. I recommend people with any kind of liver or digestive problem to take one small bowl of pulp of Pomelo everyday and you will notice improvement in just four days.

When it comes to prescription glasses, one name that always comes in everyone’s mind is Zenni. If you don’t know about Zenni Optical then let me tell you that they are well known for selling low cost prescription glasses and those glasses don’t look cheap at all. At the starting price of just $8, they are offering a good quality product which has satisfied everyone who purchased. You can look at the positive feedbacks of so many people here who had bought Zenni products. My personal opinion is that eyeglasses are still the best option for people with weak eyesight as they are completely safe and offer additional protection to eyes like from UV rays and dust etc. There are potochromic lenses available from Zenni which change color when you move out in sun and become darker to save your eyes from sun glare and UV rays while when you are in room, they become just like clear glass for ease of reading and better visibility in low light condition. So this way you don’t need to carry a sunglass with you always. Some people will ask why they are selling such good product at low price, reason is that they manufacture these glasses and frames themselves and do not include any middlemen for selling their product plus they don’t spend a lot on advertisement.
