A Vitiligo Love Story

Hi, this is a wonderful site and I’m glad to read your story.
I’m from India and my wife has vitiligo, but u know what, she is the most beautiful woman in the world and I’m very proud and lucky to have her.
She had vitiligo before we met and it has never bothered me, it was me who fell in love with her and pursued her and she was a hard nut to crack too, but we finally r together and enjoying our beautiful life.

vitiligo cover lotion owner nathalie pelletierIts very difficult in India to convince your parents if your marrying someone with vitiligo despite being “normal” yourself, but my family is equally open minded and love my wife too.
My reason to post my little love story is because i want people to stop this pointless prejudice against vitiligo and accept a person for who they truly are, and who knows u might get lucky just like me

Piperine May Help Vitiligo

black pepper vitiligo Black pepper could lead to better treatments for a disfiguring skin condition that affects about 1 percent of the world’s population, British researchers said on Thursday.

A team at King’s College London showed in a study of mice that piperine — the compound that gives black pepper its spicy, pungent flavor — and its synthetic derivatives helped stimulate pigmentation in the skin of people with vitiligo.

Piperine was particularly effective when combined with phototherapy treatment using ultraviolet radiation, the researchers said in a study to be published in the British Journal of Dermatology.

“We have shown that topical treatment with piperine stimulates even pigmentation in the skin,” Antony Young, a photobiologist at King’s College who worked on the study, said in a statement.

The disease, to which pop star Michael Jackson has in the past attributed his gradual skin whitening, destroys the melanin which gives skin its color. Melanin protects from ultraviolet rays so victims run a much higher risk of skin cancer.

Vitiligo is of particular concern in people with darker skins, the researchers said.

Current treatments include steroids applied to patchy skin and phototherapy. But many people do not respond to hormones and phototherapy can raise the risk of skin cancer, the researchers said.

The team compared the effects of piperine and its derivatives when applied to the skin of mice either alone or followed by radiation treatment.

They found that when used alone the compounds stimulated pigmentation to an even, light brown color within six weeks. When boosted by radiation, the treatment led to even darker skin in about the same period of time.

Is Depression Normal with Vitiligo?

 

Feeling depressed is the most common complaint that I receive from readers who send me emails. It’s only natural that we go through periods where we feel more self-conscious about our white patches of vitiligo; after all, our self-image has been completely altered by the changes to the color of our skin.

I found out that I had hypothyroidism shortly before I noticed little white patches of vitiligo just below my nail beds. So, not only was I feeling a chemical depression from my hormones being out of whack, I started feeling sad because my skin was changing and I worried what other autoimmune disease I might get. After a week of not leaving my house I called my mom to talk about my fears and she helped me find a therapist with whom I could talk about these new issues I was facing.

Happy Gilmore saved my life…sort-of.

vitiligo cover lotion owner nathalie pelletierSeeking professional help made a huge difference to me because I felt like I wasn’t alone with my problems anymore. This wasn’t a magical cure, though. Even though I now had an unbiased person to talk with, I still felt sad. I knew that it was going to take a while for my new thyroid medicine to show results, which also meant that my brain chemicals were still out of whack. What to do? What to do?

I tell you what I did. I watched Happy Gilmore about a hundred times. Yes, I know that sounds weird, but I had a feeling that maybe laughing would make me feel happier, and I knew for sure that watching a movie would occupy my thoughts. It worked.

I’ve never talked about that to anyone because I didn’t think it was that important to share. However, today I was listening to a podcast on Stuff To Blow Your Mind called, “The Healing Power of Laughter”, and since they talked about laughter healing depression, I decided to share this little tip with you…it might make you feel better.

Here is a link to the podcast page: http://blogs.howstuffworks.com/2012/12/05/blow-your-mind-healing-laughter-and-killing-jokes/#mkcpgn=twsftsl

Have you purposely used laughter to feel happier or cure your depression? If so, share your story in my comments area.

Special Note:
If you are having suicidal thoughts, or find that you avoid going out in public, please reach out for help immediately. Tell your parents, siblings, spouse, best friend, etc., how you’re feeling and ask them to help you get professional help. There is NO shame in this. Your happiness and well-being is so important…you are so important, remember that.

The Waves Of Vitiligo

Every now and then, our self-assurance is put to test: I am really okay with my vitiligo? How do I feel being asked, “what are those white patches that consume your skin?” If you’d had vitiligo long enough, you would know, that self-acceptance and confidence come in waves.

Months will go by and your self-acceptance has not wavered. when people stop and stare or even ask questions, you happily answer. Looking in the mirror is no longer a chore, maybe you even find yourself sometimes smiling back. When the high from wave has become the new normal, you can forget what the lows even feel like. Sooner or later though, the peak of the wave hits, changing the tide, and sinking you back down.

vitiligo cover lotion owner nathalie pelletier

The reality of this situation is that unwavering self-acceptance is truly hard to come by. Not feeling comfortable, to dislike the skin that you wearing, or ultimately, wishing to go back to our pre-vitiligo beauty selves. These are all horrible and self-loathing feelings but sadly, not uncommon. Sadly, where there are highs you’ll be able to find the lows. When we are faced with the self-loathing lows we have to keep moving forward. Secondly, we need to remember that this all part of the journey of having vitiligo. It can feel isolating at times. When logging onto Facebook and seeing post after post of other vitiligo beauties being totally comfortable with who they are now. Even, spreading positivity over our shared skin condition and all you wanna do is scream, “NO, VITILIGO IS UNFAIR!” Everyone goes through this and it is completely normal.

If everyone on average lives to 80+, do you think that every day is going to be a cakewalk? If your “funk” lasts a minute, a day, a month, or several years. Whatever the length of time it lasts you, yes it will be different for each of us, it will be a minuscule part of your time on earth.

Allow yourself the time to heal and move forward. Once you do, you can feel the high of self-acceptance once again. Additionally, if you go through this emotional roller-coaster several times, remember it’s normal.

Having vitiligo can be tough but don’t forget to rejoice in the highs but also, don’t hold back from feeling the lows, just remember to keep on pushing through every wave that comes with vitiligo.

Leave a comment below on how you get past your lows!

SCENESSE® Phase 1 Trial Results Published

SCENESSE, vitiligo treatment,clinuvelScenesse® Phase 1 Trial Results Published (afamelanotide) The multi-center, randomized trial ran for a six-month period and involved 55 vitiligo patients, all of whom received NB-UV-B phototherapy and half who also received Scenesse® (afamelanotide) in addition to the phototherapy. Everyone had statistically significant improvement, but results for those who received the combination therapy were superior.

Scenesse® was administered via a subcutaneous dissolving implant about the size of a grain of rice. Repigmentation was determined by two scoring systems: the Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (VASI) and the Vitiligo European Task Force (VETF) score. Improvement for both groups of patients was seen early in the trial according to both scoring systems, but statistically significant improvement for the patients on the combination therapy came earlier and was more marked. By the end of the trial, those on Scenesse® plus phototherapy showed much greater improvement.

vitiligo cover lotion owner nathalie pelletier

The combination therapy resulted in much greater repigmentation on the face and upper extremities, and results were seen, on average, 20 days earlier than in those on NB-UVB phototherapy alone. Both groups of patients generated both follicular (around the hair follicle) and peripheral (marginal) pigmentation patterns. The study did not test patients on Scenesse® alone, although the authors note that this should be studied in the future. The study also did not test the therapy in lighter-skinned patients, but in the darker-skinned patients who participated, results were most marked in those with the darkest skin.

Scenesse® acts similarly to a natural protein that is important in stimulating melanocyte production and proliferation. Clinuvel Pharmaceutical, the maker of Scenesse®, sponsored the study.

Could new MS treatment cure vitiligo

Could new MS treatment cure vitiligo. This morning I came across an exciting article about a breakthrough in multiple sclerosis treatment as scientists discovered how to ‘switch off’ autoimmune diseases. Why did this catch my eye? Since vitiligo is considered an autoimmune disease, and because scientists have already located the gene responsible for vitiligo, perhaps this new treatment can be used to turn off vitiligo!

vitiligo cover lotion owner nathalie pelletier

A link to the article can be found at the end of this post, and while it is informative, I am going to do some more research this week on the myriad of medical sites to get in-depth information for us.

Meanwhile, if you would like to read a previous post I did in 2007 about Scientists finding the Gene in Vitiligo, you can check it out here: https://vitiligocover.com/scientists-implicate-gene-in-vitiligo/

What does Vitiligo look like?

Vitiligo look like a white patch on the skin and the white patches varies from light tan to the complete absence of the pigment. People are prone to this Vitiligo more commonly in the area which is below the elbow and this is not completely understood by anyone on why it is occurring. Vitiligo is of two types which is segmental Vitiligo and non segmental Vitiligo. Many people develop segmental Vitiligo in which the white patches develop only in one side of the body that is in one area alone.

What is melanin?

Melanin is a pigment of skin as well as hairs which will be present in human begins as well as animals. They will be dark brown in color. These melanin pigments are synthesized by the melanocytes which are the special cells and also help in storing the melanin pigments. Melanin pigments are the pigments which gives color to the skin as well the hair for human beings as well as for animals. These melanin pigments are derived from the amino acids tyrosine. When these melanin pigments fail to work properly then it will result in the condition of Vitiligo.

How does Vitiligo develop?

The pigment loss differs a lot from one person to another person and in many conditions Vitiligo develops in one small area but later if left untreated will start to spread to other areas of the body and also the white patches which are already present will start to grow in a larger size. There are conditions of the Vitiligo to also stay in the same area for about many years and this is because happening whenever a de pigmentation happens in that particular area. There are also chances for Vitiligo to re pigment by themselves without treatment also but only in some rare cases.

Are there cosmetics available for covering Vitiligo spots?

Yes there are many cosmetics products available to cover the spots which are caused because of Vitiligo. The commonly used cosmetic is the water proof make up. This water proof make will be applied only to the spots and after the application the affected areas will be seem to be equal to the normal skin tone. This water proof make up is available for every type of skin tone from fair to dark black. There are also products available which are of both water proof and also friction proof. People also use sun glass tanner products which must be applied to the white patches only in order to get a great relief.
