Restoring the physiological conditions for pigmentation:
It has been shown that treatment with pseudocatalase limits oxidative stress and hence damage to the melanocytes which are responsible for skin pigmentation.
Topical or systemic administration of gingko biloba, antioxidants such as vitamin E and superoxide dismutase (SOD), can limit depigmentation and even, according to some studies, promote repigmentation, ideally in combination with phototherapy.
Vitamins and minerals (B12, E, selenium, calcium, folic acid) help to compensate for deficiencies in vitiligo patients.
