mepk5, I don't mix mine, a local pharmacy do it for my prescription. I am sure if your mono powder is pure or real, the pharmacy will be willing to buy it back from you. You may want to try and nothing to loose. I am not sure who told you that you shouldn't get spots. Several of my vitiligo friends even get niew spots when they were under mono treatment. Some even have hyperpigmentation. But, at the end, they all are in one color. I am hoping that I'll be in one color in one year too. Cheer. I am sure you'll be fine too. Hope all the best for you !

mepk5, I used a mixture from one of my friend who got mono powder from Anil for my first sevral months. I used it on and off because I got irritation and rashes, even with 5%. Just I got used to her mono, she left and I have no choice but to let my family know that I am treating my vitiligo with depigmentation. My uncle prescribes 20% for me and he may move up to 40% for me soon since I don't have any more irritation and rashes with the cream. Mine is coumpounded and I get it in a jar. It is expensive, $90 for 60g. I got darker at first, then spots. But, the spots are connected slowly. I also started to see lightening but very slow too. My spots are mostly on my feet and body. My spots on my hands are connected and now with two colors. The whiter skin is expanded slower. I am not putting mono on my face because my uncle says "no". One will not notice my spots unless they are very close to me since I am fair with light olive color. Good luck to your mono treatment.

mepk, I think people without vitiligo (one color of skin) are lucky, no matter what color they are ... I have 10+% vitiligo for a long time and did not increase or get worse and they are mostly on my hands and feet. I have several vitiligo friends (30% - 60%) who have treated with all kinds of treatments : repigmentation and depigmentation. I think mono gives good results and cheaper for most of them. I decided to treat my vitiligo in Oct. 2008 because my vitiligo started to show up on my face and my friends all encourage me to do so. I can cover my hands and feet all the time, but I hate to do so for my face. I went through repigmentation routes : topical therapies such as steroids, V-tar, and natural therapies such as taking folic acid and Vitamin B-12 for years since my vitiligo are less than 20% and my family wanted me to do so. Nothing really help and started to get worse since middle of 2008. I tried with phototherapy (PUVA) for 3/4 months and had to stop due to stomach upset and burning problem. I decided to use mono after I have learned all other treatment options. Now, with my family's support, I am hanging in there. BTW, sounds like you'll be a good candidate for mono treatment if the sports are spreading by themselves now. That means, you will be depigmented sooner. Best of luck to your DR's appointment. Let us know how it goes.

hey mepk

just came bak from miami..and got a crazy tan..its funny how quicky the skin can get dark but takes forever to lighten..ughh

nwyayz why are we still on mono..that stuff will ruin in the long run... isnt there anythig new yet ?

Quoting chandani:
Mequinol seems to possibly be promising. It is known to be milder than mono but stronger than Hq, so I'm still trying to read as much as I can about this.

getting it without a script is difficult though

you mean for the mequinol? That's what I heard, but there has to be somewhere that sells the real thing without prescription I hope?

i think you can buy menoquil online without a doctor perscription, but you only apply it on the area you want to lighten so if your spotted from mono like me you would have to apply to the dark areas only and not to the entire skin surface. Menoquil aka solage is only suppose to me used to fade age and liver spots and once the area is faded your suppose to discontinue usage.
