Can Vitiligo Heal Itself without Treatment?

We found an interesting phenomenon when we talked with many vitiligo patients, there are a few cases where the vitiligo heals on its own. The patients in these cases were both treated in the past or untreated at all. This makes us think about this question: can vitiligo heal itself without treatment?

Clinically, it is true that there are cases of vitiligo that heal themselves, but they are very rare. Clinically, throughout the ancient and modern vitiligo treatment cases, it is not difficult to find that due to the different causes and pathogenesis of vitiligo, treatment methods are diverse, from ancient recipe treatment to modern medicine combined with comprehensive treatment, both have played a very good treatment effect. Many methods have good clinical results once they are used based on the correct symptoms, although they are only simple treatments.

Our past two cases have been cured by oral consumption of figs plus ultraviolet sunlight, as well as many cases that have obtained excellent results by ultraviolet sunlight alone, which shows that the treatment of vitiligo is inextricably linked to the individual's condition and treatment methods. Without the knowledge of their vitiligo condition, these self-treat methods are luckily fit for those patients and result in a good effect, that’s why there happen some very rare cases of self-cure.

However, what we all must be clear about is the cases of incurable self-cure in the vitiligo patients group almost do not account for the proportion, which cannot become a consensus of vitiligo, and the hope of curing vitiligo on incurable self-cure is not realistic. To really completely cure vitiligo, you must rely on the current advanced treatment technology can be achieved. Patients also need to have enough patience to receive clinical treatment, not seek urgency, and not change treatment plans at will.

Therefore, there is little hope for self-cure. Once white spots occur, it is important to see a doctor early, treat them early and recover early.
