Vitiligo and tanning

AdamTheAngel · #1 Jun 16, 2004, 05:01 PM

I have Vitiligo on about 40% of my body (for those of you who don't know, it means that those areas are without pigmentation). I would like to walk around with a nice, deep tan (I live in Florida). Could you recommend any skin stains and such that I could use, which would last a long time? Thanks.

Did you try UVB treatments for Vitiligo?

I don't know if this would work or not, but have you considered Mystic Tan?? That spray on tan like on Friends when Ross gets really black on one side but is still completely white on the other?

hey i also have vitiligo, but quite mildly
i would suggest that you use something natural,
as some colouring chemicals can make vitiligo worse.

I have heard of the airbrush tan before but have no idea how good it is or what its problems may be.
