Where can I get a phototherapy narrow band machine for personal use to manage vitiligo in Singapore and how much do they cost?

Hello, This is a commonly asked question I face from many of my patients, and the answer is always the same. No, there are no foods that have been found to cause vitiligo. Within the Southeast Asian region, it is a common belief that diet plays a role in the development of the condition. However, the truth is that to date, there is a lack of sufficient evidence to prove that there are any foods linked with the development of vitiligo. I hope that this answers the question.

Hello, This is a great question! In the process of research aimed at identifying the underlying cause for vitiligo, scientists have postulated that vitiligo can be triggered by stress to the pigment producing cells of the skin. Some potential vitiligo triggers have been identified: Genetic susceptibility Sunburn Mechanical trauma (e. g. friction, cuts) Chemical exposure Low mood / Abnormal emotional stress Some of my patients have found that after one or a combination of the above-mentioned triggers, they began to notice progressive depigmentation occurring on their skin.
