How it works
Corticosteroids suppress the autoimmune T-cell attack on melanocytes, reducing local inflammation and creating conditions for melanocyte stem cell activation and migration from hair follicles.
Risk of skin atrophy and striae with prolonged use — intermittent regimens are preferred. More effective on face and trunk than extremities. Requires GP prescription for stronger formulations.
Medical guidance
This remedy requires a prescription or pharmacist consultation in Australia. Speak to your GP or pharmacist before use.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
