Spotlight! No. 4 (2016): everything about light therapy
Light therapy is the most commonly used treatment for vitiligo. Yet many questions remain. In this issue of Spotlight! dermatologist David Njoo answers all those questions.
Light therapy is the easiest treatment, which can also be done at home, but the effect is not guaranteed. Many people quit because success is not forthcoming. How did that happen? And when should you start and when should you not? David Njoo explains, and three people talk about their experiences.
Also in this issue is a report on the members' day of September 2016 in Amersfoort, when group discussions on various topics were organized. Plus a look ahead to Christmas: what do you wear if your vitiligo spots are very visible? "It's mainly about your appearance," says Anne-Marie Brouwer from Almere, who simply puts on her sleeveless party blouse.
