Natural Vitiligo Tx: No one therapy for vitiligo works all patients, but most commonly a topical corticosteroid is prescribed. Foods that are rich in folic acid, vit B12 and vit c can be helpful. A study published in 1992 showed 80% of the subjects improved with a 3 year course of 2mg folic acid, 500mg vit c 2x/day and injections of B12 evry 2 weeks. There is some evidence that ginkgo biloba will slow vitiligo too.
