What are the treatment methods for vitiligo?

The treatment methods for vitiligo are diverse and mainly include: 1. Topical treatment: Application of topical medications such as glucocorticoid creams (e.g., halometasone, flumetasone), which can improve skin color distribution and reduce depigmentation in vitiligo areas. 2. Phototherapy: Treatment using ultraviolet light irradiation such as UVB or PUVA, which can promote regeneration and differentiation of pigment cells, thus improving the skin color of depigmented areas. 3. Oral medication: In specific cases, doctors may recommend low-dose oral corticosteroids or immunomodulatory drugs to suppress immune system activity and control disease progression. 4. Surgical treatment: For patients with limited vitiligo areas, skin grafting surgery may be considered, transferring normal skin areas to the depigmented regions to promote repigmentation. 5. Laser therapy: Using laser beams to destroy pigment cells in vitiligo areas, stimulating the generation of new pigment cells; however, effectiveness may vary among individuals. 6. Psychological therapy: Considering the impact of vitiligo on patients' appearance and psychological status, timely psychological support and psychotherapy are also crucial.
