My Vitiligo Cure Story & Research: What Does Vitiligo Look Like

What Does Vitiligo Look Like

Do I really have vitiligo? What does vitiligo look like? How do I know for sure if these white patches on my body is indeed vitiligo?

If you discovered white patches (depigmented skin) in any part of your body, it's wise to seek a definitive, anthoritative answer to those questions.

Why?

Because not all white patches in your skin are vitiligo.

Because if it's truly vitiligo, then it's important that you seek treatment immediately.

My advice: If you suspect you have vitiligo, visit a dermatologist ( a qualified medical doctor specializes in skin disorder) and have your skin condition conclusively diagnosed, and take it on from there.

repigmentation

Dear frustrated vitiligo patient,

y name is Michael DeAngelo, an EX-vitiligo patient.

Yes, "EX" means cured of vitiligo. I had 100% repigmentation. No more vitiligo!

OK ... if you are one of those who has been indoctrinated by dermatologists to believe that vitiligo cannot be cured, then call it ...

** 100% repigmentation, OR

** successfully treated

To me, it means the same thing. I'll tell you why, later. :-)

Are you looking
for information ...
how to cure your vitiligo?
If you are, heed the sage advice given here ... then as surely as the sun rises from the east every morning, you'll surely have sufficient high-powered weapons and bullets to help you fight and probably win your vitiligo war.

I've won my vitiligo war using the same knowledge, so can you.

Conversely, if you ignore the warnings in this blog, then as surely as "what goes up must come down", you'll surely get tons of frustrations, heart-aches and wasted hundreds or possibly thousands of dollars, on vitiligo treatment that won't work.

Worst still, it may cause your vitiligo to spread like wild fire ... fast and uncontrollably.

We, vitiligo patients
are a bunch of
vulnerable people.
Yes, that's a fact.

Why?

Because our dermatologists ... the medical and scientific community at large have been telling us the day we were diagnosed with vitiligo that vitiligo is a NO-KNOWN CAUSE and NO-KNOWN CURE disease, making us so desperate to try almost anything, as long as it promises to cure this no-known cure disease.

It's a fact, when we are desperate ... we become vulnerable.

Thanks to
dermatologists
No ... no ... I've nothing against dermatologist. Some of them are going a great job, helping us.

However, you have to beware that ...

... Your doctor
your dermatologist
can be your friend
OR foe
Why?

I'll reveal some eye-popping findings and jaw-dropping stories about dermatologists that may make you really boiling mad even at 3:00am in the "Vitiligo Treatment Bullets Ezine" later.

Have you ever wonder what you have been told all this while ... "vitiligo has no cure" is really the truth, and nothing but the ultimate truth?

Have you ever consider seeking a second opinion, especially talking to EX-vitiligo patients who had successfully treated vitiligo, as to ...

... What does
"vitiligo has
no-known cure"
really mean?
I strongly suggest you register this pertinent question at the back of your mind and make it your goal to find the answer to this critically important question, as you read the many articles in this blog.

Yes, do not stop searching until you are 100% sure you have the correct answer because your answer has a direct bearing in you finding the cure you so desperately wanted.

Are you wondering ...

Why I bother
to go through the pain
to create this blog?

... Because I care.

... Because I'm an EX-vitiligo patient. I count it a great blessing to have finally cured my vitiligo and is thankful for all the help, encouragement and support I received from the vitiligo community during my battle with vitiligo.

This blog is my simple way of giving back to the vitiligo community for what the vitiligo community had given me.

... Because just as I know and I'm 100% sure, day will follow after night ...

I know
and I'm 100% sure
I can help you
Listen-up: If you want to get the full value and benefits from this blog, then heed this sincere advice ...

READ WITH
AN OPEN MIND
Why?

Because just like a parachute will not work if it's not open, our mind will not work too ... if it's not open.

Because your belief or unbelief, prejudices, finite knowledge and limited experience about vitiligo and vitiligo treatment may work against you in finding the cure ... if you do not approach what you are about to read with an open mind.

Now, I learnt that from my own mistakes ... it's a costly personal experience.

He who learns from the mistakes of others ... is WISE.

Are you wise?
Here are some facts you should know ...

1) I believe in doing no harm to others and the environment.

I also believe that every proposed vitiligo treatment, both mainstream medical and alternative treatment, must be supported by ...

Authoritative
evidence-based
scientific studies
The reasons are obvious.

Do you know that many herbs and natural remedies for vitiligo do have scientific backings?

2) I'm a working professional, an accountant/auditor by training. A husband of one wife. A father of two kids. But most importantly, I'm an EX-vitiligo patient.

3) Because I was an EX-vitiligo patient, I can identify with what you have been through, are going through and probably will go through.

I know how you feel ... the anger, frustration, fear, worries, anxiety ... the shame ... the humiliation.

Believe me, I have had my fair share and have been through them all.

I was diagnosed with vitiligo at the height of my career and relationship. I was planning to marry the lady that I love.

I almost have to give-up my job due to unsupportive employer, colleagues and clients, because of my vitiligo.

I was at the verge of breaking up with the lady that I was planning to marry, because she cannot accept the fact that our children may have vitiligo too.

Vitiligo had turned my life topsy-turvy.

Can you imagine
the hell that I have
been through?
Remember, because I can identify with you my fellow vitiligo friends, I will never suggest you do something that I myself have not done it or will not do it.

Why? Because I was once upon a time, a hopelessly helpless vitiligo patient too.

4) I'm NOT one of those many "vitiligo miracle cure" webmasters, trying to pitch on you some fast, permanent "vitiligo miracle cure" products that guaranteed to give you the best, the fastest and 100% permanent cure that you are desperately looking for ... OR your money back.

There's NO miracle cure product you can buy from me personally here, simply because ...

I don't have any
miracle cure product
for sale here or anywhere
If you are searching for a "vitiligo miracle cure" product, I have a sincere advice for you ...

If it sounds too good to be true, often it is. Especially, when there are no authoritative evidence-based scientific studies cited to support those bodacious claims.

So, do approach such "vitiligo miracle cure" products with some caution. Those unscrupulous suckers may just be preying on your desperation and vulnerability to make a few sinful dollars.

Instead of chasing after "the best, the fastest vitiligo miracle cure products", why not chase after knowledge ... in-depth knowledege about vitiligo and vitiligo treatment? (both mainstream medical and alternative treatment)?

Believe me, once you arm yourself with the said in-depth knowledge, you will know automatically, what is most likely to work and what won't.

Heed my advice, then as surely as the sun rises from the east every morning, you will surely save yourself tons of frustrations, heart-aches and hundreds or possibly thousands of dollars, on vitiligo treatment that won't work.

Check out this blog often, it can help you to achieve just that.

A reader said, "... this is the most important blog on vitiligo that I've ever come across and I've made this blog my default homepage."

Probably it is ... and probably you may want to do the same too. :-)

5) All I have are some intimate knowledge about vitiligo treatment (both mainstream medical and alternative treatment) that even your dermatologist may NOT know.

Yes,
my dermatologist don't!
All I can give you are some sage advice based on the many costly mistakes that I've made along the way, in my search to cure my vitiligo.

Now, you can learn from my mistakes.

Mark Twain once said, "... he who learns from the mistakes of others is wise"

Are you wise?

All I can impart to you are some valuable personal experiences in successfully cured my vitiligo in just short nine (9) months, inspite of my dermatologist told me to be emotionally prepared for a vitiligo life-sentence.

Now, you can benefit from my experience.

Heed my advice, then as surely as day will surely come after night, you will surely have sufficient high-powered weapons and bullets to fight and ultimately win your vitiligo war.

It's these
powerful knowledge
and intimate
personal experiences
that I intend to share
with you in this blog
Why? Because I sincerely hope you can learn a thing or two from me and ultimately free yourself from the vitiligo life-sentence, just as I did.

Why? Because nothing is more satisfying than helping another precious soul regaining his life back.

6) "My face is disfigured by those "damned white patches" called vitiligo. I used to be a beautiful confident girl but now I look more like an ugly monster. Being so ashamed of how I look and hated the very sight of my face in the mirror, I tried to kill myself ... twice. I wanted to die because I can't take the shame, the humiliation anymore. Does anyone care enough to help me, please?!"

This posting by a 22 years old lady vitiligo victim in a health online forum still rings loud and clear in my ears till today.

Though I've left the online forum, this lady's plight and plea for help has never left me.

Since then, deep down inside me was this constant gentle prompting ...

"Share your story Mike, just share how you did it. It might work for them too. It might even save a life or two!"

Hence, the birth
of this blog
7) When I don't seem to respond to initial treatments, my dermatologist told me to be emotionally prepared for a vitiligo life-sentence. That warning hit me like a ton of bricks.

Suddenly, I came to realization that if I rely on my dermatologist 100% for a successful treatment of my vitiligo, I'll be destined to a vitiligo life-sentence, slowly but surely.

Heck, he has already told me so ...

I realized that I need to be in the driver's seat, not my dermatologist. I must take charge of my own fate, my own destiny ... if I want to avoid the vitiligo life-sentence.

Realizing that no one has monopoly over knowledge, I decided to give myself an urgent and important assignment - to read all that I need to read, to talk to as many people as possible, in order to know all that I need to know about vitiligo.

I wanted to be a "layman expert" on vitiligo skin disorder and participate actively in determining the best treatment plan for myself.

Why? Because I've discovered that ...

Just because a person
wears a white robe,
uses technical
medical jargons
and calls himself
a dermatologist,
a trained doctor
... does NOT
necessarily mean
he knows EVERYTHING
about vitiligo
and is always RIGHT
It's my sincere advice to you that you should do the same too.

8) With due respect to the medical and scientific experts in vitiligo, I strongly believe ...

Just because they
are of the opinion
that "vitiligo
has NO-KNOWN CURE"
does NOT mean vitiligo
CANNOT be cured.
It merely means
"they DO NOT know
*HOW* to cure it"
That's a world of difference between that two statements, liken to day and night.

Many vitiligo patients had obediently and unfortunately accepted this HALF-TRUTH as THE TRUTH.

"Vitiligo is a NO-KNOWN CAUSE and NO-KNOWN CURE skin disorder. So why waste time and money trying to treat it?"

This HALF-TRUTH disguised as THE TRUTH had cause millions of vitiligo victims around the world to accept obediently and willingly the vitiligo life-sentence.

That's most unthinkable, unfortunate and unfair!

It's my belief that this blog must strive to use the power of the internet to expose and "correct" without fear or favor, what seemingly is THE TRUTH ... is actually ... in reality, a pathetic HALF-TRUTH.

Know this TRUTH
and this TRUTH
... will set you free!
9) The vitiligo pictures below are intended for educational purposes.

We all know that a picture paints a thousand words. Hence, these photos are essentially an effective tool to create greater dimension of understanding and awareness about vitiligo and the destructive power of vitiligo, among vitiligo patients.

My sincere apology to you in advance, in case you are unexpectedly frightened or offended by these pictures.

It's never my intention to create fear in or offend anyone here.

Lastly, I'm not only convinced but converted that ...

Vitiligo Need *NOT*
Be A Life-Sentence

BUT ...
ONLY IF YOU FIRE
*THE RIGHT BULLETS*

RE: Is the timeframe of how long you have had vitiligo a factor in recover

I'm 31 years old and developed vitiligo at 12. I started treatment with a doctor in west palm beach florida, Dr. John P Kinney. I have been taking 5mg of folic acid which he prescribed me along with uv treatments three times a week. After five months my vitiligo is no longer visible. I only had it on my face bilateral. I continue taking the same amount of folic acid along with other vitimins -much importantly acidophulis. I also continue the uv treatments at home with my hand held derma pal. So in response to your question, in my case with the proper treatment pigment will return. I never used any other topical medications only epicuren facial products created by a man with vitiligo.

Hi Mike,

I'm one of those people are always looking for a cure. I have been blessed to have 95 percent of my pigment. It started when I was going through puberty. Age 14 is when it first appeared. It attacked my face first. Around my eyes, under my chin and a few spots around my mouth and cheek. I have had psorlen treatments in the past and all areas on my face recovered except the area around my eyes, which is a very sensitive area. So I wear cosmetices with the hope of one day finding a cure. I haven't given up yet.

I read your article and all of the different treatments that are available. I've never heard of Ginko Biloba to be a form of treatment. Well, long story short I will be trying it. I thank GOD that I haven't lost so much pigment that it is beyond reapair. I see so many claims to be the cure online it isn't funny. Which one is positive, which one is negative. I believe in taking chances but not willing to spend endless dollars on a farce.

Thank you for all your research. It is appreciated. If you have any other information to share I'll appreciate that too :-)

Be Blessed

Hello Mike,

My name is Larissa from Holland, a vitiligo victim.

I just want to say thank you very much for sharing your personal experience about vitiligo in your blog. Just like you, I've done all that I could possibly think of, but nothing works. Don't know whatelse to do and whatelse work for me, I decided to follow your advice - like you've said humorously, nothing to lose, except vitiligo. :-) Over the last 5 months, I noticed my vitiligo skin is darkening slowly but surely. The affected skin areas are not as obvious as last time. Your advice works for me and I'll certainly continue with your proposed regimen.

I must say that I have been rather fortunate to found your blog, read of your experience and advice and decided to take the plunge to try it out.

Do consider sharing my little testimonial in your blog to other vitiligo victims hoping that it will make a diference in their lives too, just as it did made a big difference in mine.

Keep up the good work, Mike.

Once again, thank you.

Larissa H Gearin
Holland
