"Cure" for Vitiligo - beta carotene
My dermatologist advised me to desensitize my vitiligo by taking one
beta carotene 25,000 i.u. per day. No promise of a cure, but it will
probably reduce my common sunburns. I live in AZ now, and we have
brutal sun exposure. I've been taking beta carotene about 2 months & I
think the beta carotene might be working, I still don't risk exposure
without sunscreen & a wide-brimmed hat.
I'm a 53 yr old caucasian & I've had vitiligo since a teenager, although
it has not always been present outside of normally clothed area. Most
of my adult life has been in the tropics (HI, AZ, Mediterranean Sea,
Pacific & Indian Oceans)
