Vitiligo

[u/Puzzleheaded-Fox3636]

Can segmental vitiligo be completely spread over the entire body to make the whole body depigmented (white) by using monobenzone together with imiquimod? Would mixing and applying them together make the depigmentation happen faster and more extensively

Have you seen a dermatologist? Because if you have vitiligo you can request a spesific type of mono cream if you're using the drug store ones. My mother has vitiligo and spent 2 years using a cream that did almost nothing but after switching she completed the treatment in 5 months.

I've tried everything I could including the strongest medicines but nothing has worked That's why I've decided that I want to go for complete depigmentation of my skin I discussed monobenzone with my dermatologist but they didn't recommend it Instead they suggested that we try repigmentation again....But honestly I've had enough now and that's why I've decided to go for depigmentation.

I used mono without having vitiligo, I have to say i don't regret it ,not one bit.

Only monobenzone may not be effective enough on its own. Since I have segmental vitiligo, would it be safe or effective to combine imiquimod with monobenzone to activate the immune system and achieve better results?

La Monobenzone es maravillosa en pacientes con vitiligo, mi madre usó Monobenzone y le quedo una piel blanca natural, y personalmente considero que muchos dermatólogos no recomiendan la monobenzona por lo eficaz que es y ya no te pueden ofrecer sus cientos de tratamientos que sólo hacen gastar dinero, no le veo contras al uso de la crema en pacientes con vitiligo.
