Contact UsWhat Is Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is a condition that causes the skin to lose its pigment, resulting in colorless patches that may spread throughout the body. There are several types of vitiligo, each with different known causes, but many can be traced to problems in the immune system that causes it to attack melanocytes, the cells that are responsible for creating skin pigmentation. This condition can also spread to the hair, as well as the mucous membranes of the mouth and groin regions, causing further loss of color. While vitiligo is not a harmful condition, those who live with it might experience extreme stress or embarrassment because of it. Individuals with vitiligo may also be more susceptible to certain other immune system conditions. Dr. Payne at Flourish Dermatology And Aesthetics understands the discomfort that comes with skin conditions, like vitiligo, and is dedicated to helping patients with vitiligo regain their confidence and self-worth. If vitiligo is keeping you from living your best life, call our New Orleans, LA practice to learn more about treatments.
How Do You Treat Vitiligo?
The pale skin patches caused by vitiligo are often chronic; however, certain treatments may be able to reduce the discoloration and cause repigmentation of affected areas. These patches may return in the future, though. Following your consultation, Dr. Payne may recommend topical treatment options to help address the immune system dysfunction and manage future spreading. Another treatment involves phototherapy and laser treatment, both of which utilize UV light to slow the progression of vitiligo and help restore a more even skin tone.

Dr. Payne was amazing! She was very knowledgeable, informative, personable, and welcoming. I’m very much looking forward to my next visit to have my moles removed. She was more well versed in some of my skincare issues that other dermatologists had previously dismissed. I highly recommend her, and plan on referring all of my friends to her practice.
