Topical Vitamin D

Vitamin D benefits the life and health of a person in far more ways than is commonly known. The “sunshine” vitamin, as it is sometimes called, is commonly known for its effect on strengthening the bones and joints in the human body by aiding the absorption of calcium. It also helps the body build up immunity. I have write before in this blog the importance of Vitamin D3 orally , but we who have vitiligo there is another way to use Vitamin D3

Topical Vitamin D

When used topically in combination with sun exposure, a pharmaceutical form of vitamin d, called calcipotriol, may be effective in stimulating repigmentation in children with vitiligo. In a preliminary study, children applied a cream containing calcipotriol daily and exposed themselves to sunlight for 10–15 minutes the following morning.¹⁹ After 11 months, marked to complete repigmentation occurred in 55% of the children, moderate repigmentation occurred in 22%, and little or no improvement was seen in 22%. None of the children developed new areas of vitiligo. The first evidence of repigmentation occurred within 6 to 12 weeks in the majority of the children. All participants tolerated the cream well, with approximately 17% complaining of mild, transient skin irritation. The study shows that can get help from topical vitamin d so then i think there can be so use to adults also. I use different form what is in the study and that is the natural form called Cholecalciferol it is almost every time that the natural forms are many times better. I put the lotion few times per week to vitiligous areas.
