Q: Is there any latest drug to cure the Vitiligo problem? Is there any permanent solution for this problem? Is it curable really?

A:Unlike other hypopigmentation disorders, vitiligo is an acquired disorder that is amenable to treatment. Many treatment options are available e.g. topical glucocorticoids, PUVA, UV-B, transplants etc.The use of Placentrex Lotion (manufactured by Albert David) has shown promising results even when other therapies have failed. Placentrex lotion contains DNA, RNA and tyrosine.
