3.Temporary solution
4.Expensive
1.Scarring
This is one of the side effects that people most fear of. Modern treatment such as surgery and transplant of skin will cause permanent scar to the patient. It is because every surgery bring an certain risk of scarring. Doctors use the latest technology to perform a surgery or transplant. This is because the lack of experience and carelessness of the doctor. Therefore, they should consult a registered professional skin doctor in treating this problem. However there are no doctor who can guarantee 100% scar free surgery.
2.Hard to swallow
There are medicines specially produced to treat this problem. Medicine produced can be either traditional way or modern way. In most traditional way to treat vitiligo, the medicine is very bitter. Most people cannot stand the taste of the medicine. It is because of the herbs and other ingredient used to produce this type of medicine.
3.Temporary solution
Most of the treatment brings only temporary solution to the people. This skin sickness will be likely to occur again on the skin. Another problem is that the lotion or cream will lose its effectiveness if you do not continue to apply it.
4.Expensive
Other than traditional way that is less effective towards this problem, all the other way(more modern) is very expensive. This includes a medicine from pharmacy and surgery. Not all of us can bear the expensive cost to treat vitiligo.
