What is the best medication for treating vitiligo?

There is no such thing as "the best medicine for treating vitiligo." The selection of medications for vitiligo treatment is not one-size-fits-all; instead, treatment plans need to be tailored according to each patient's specific condition and stage of illness.

Main categories of vitiligo treatment medications include topical and oral drugs. Topical medications include corticosteroids, immunomodulators, vitamin D3 derivatives, and calcineurin inhibitors; oral medications mainly include immunosuppressants and traditional Chinese medicine formulations.

Immunomodulating agents such as pidotimod oral solution and transfer factor oral solution are also commonly used as adjunctive therapies. Traditional Chinese patent medicines, such as Bailing tablets and Qubai Babuzi tablets, assist in treatment through their functions of nourishing the liver and benefiting the kidneys.

Phototherapy (such as PUVA therapy and narrowband medium-wave ultraviolet therapy) and surgical treatments (such as autologous epidermal transplantation and melanocyte transplantation) are also commonly used treatment methods. When selecting a treatment plan, doctors will develop an individualized regimen based on each patient's specific condition to achieve optimal therapeutic results. At the same time, vitiligo treatment often takes a long time and requires the patient's patience and cooperation.
