which treatment works faster for stable vitiligo - excimer laser or surgical options like grafting? i'm trying to understand which one gives quicker repigmentation results
For stable vitiligo, surgical grafting generally offers faster repigmentation results compared to excimer laser treatment. While excimer laser can achieve repigmentation, surgical options, like split-thickness skin grafting (STSG) and noncultured epidermal cell suspension (NCECS), are often preferred for their quicker and more complete results, especially in stable disease

My face is totally covered with blackheads and whiteheads, except on my forehead. I scrub twice every day because otherwise I feel too self-conscious to go out. I've tried tons of dermatological products, including the PERNEX my last dermatologist suggested, but nothing has worked. Do you know anything that might actually help? I'm feeling really frustrated about this situation.
It sounds like you have tried various dermatological products without success. In this case, you can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Differin (adapalene) gel. Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected areas once daily at night. Additionally, you can use a salicylic acid cleanser like Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash. Use it twice daily to help unclog pores and prevent new blackheads and whiteheads from forming. Remember to moisturize your skin as retinoids can be drying. Be patient as it may take a few weeks to see improvement.
