I’m John from Indonesia and I’m 28 years old. I’m college lecturer. When I was about 25 year old I saw a tinny white spot on my left arm, at that time I ignored it and thought that it is spot of biting of some insect as there is lot of insects in my colony because of garden. After 2 months I notice that small spot is increasing day by day and same spots are also appearing on my face and neck as well, they are same in color but different in size and shape. No pain and itching was comes, but they are spreading very quickly. I consult with doctor of my college dispensary and doctor told me that they vitiligo spots and ask me to visit a dermatologist. On next weekend spots were examined by dermatologist and he confirms that this patch comes because of vitiligo disorder. He gave me cream for topical application on spots, I use three months his cream and result was depressing me. Instead of removing white patches from my skin cream gave me irritation and itching on spots as well, this was not end of vitiligo treatment, now patches of vitiligo was in size of 2 ad 3 inches , they are everywhere on face and neck . My natural personality was lost and effects are very dangerous to my future because by profession. On that stage I was teaching to 2nd year students and bachelors as well, I feel a little hesitation in students, they are avoiding me and don’t want to shake hand with me. I was surprised by their behaviors, at that time I took my skin disorder seriously, I visit countless web sites for information, many points are common in their blogs that is vitiligo is non curable and no exact cure is available for spots but number of treatments are available to get rid off from vitiligo patches. Reason behind vitiligo is unknown and most accepted view is that it is an auto immune disorder. I found that there are many side effects in vitiligo treatment by medical and surgical therapies and I also beard gift of dermatologist for 3 months so I decided to use herbal product for recovery, at first I ordered a web site to send me their vitiligo oil, I can’t say that this was effective remedy but spots top to spread, I was very happy that one major problem is solved, I continue to use that oil regularly but after 4 months I was again surprised from vitiligo spots because spots are also appearing on my legs, I was tense due to vitiligo because spots on my face and neck seems very bad and a embracement comes automatically when people look me strangely, my tension was converting into frustration because I almost closed all of my social activities, I do want see my friends and also avoiding to attend functions. My whole life was changed. My interest in treatments of vitiligo was highly increased and I started deep search on vitiligo, I was shocked to know that many treatments available online are fake and harmful. I don’t want to discuss that here because it is my personal view however many are real as I contact to many persons who were patients of leucoderma, they told me that we use herbal product for white spots and they are now spending their life with natural with skin color. I tried another herbal anti vitiligo oil for recovery. This time I was happy because with on 30 days spots on my legs are fully recovered and spots on neck and face are dull, just after 3 months my natural skin color was back. Now I am happy, whenever I remember my disease I think that vitiligo is life changing disorder and great care is required in choosing vitiligo treatment.
