10 Common Treatments of Vitiligo

Skin Grafting

If laser treatment or photochemotherapy doesn’t work for you, then your doctor might recommend skin grafting. This technique removes a small area from your skin that isn’t affected by the condition and then surgically implants it to the area of pigmentation loss. Thus, it is a great option for small skin patches. While skin grafting is an effective treatment for vitiligo, it can also have some complications. For instance, the process would lead to a cobblestone-like discolored pattern. In some cases, the affected skin patches might even fail to gain the pigment again. [4]
