Understanding Vitiligo - Causes & Theories, April 2011

[Ullimately]

Ddi you research pseudo catalase which reduces the hydrogen peroxide amount in the affected areas?

@Ullimately hi there. This isn't part of our research; we are focusing on the potential of our drug to help repigment lesions in combination with NB-UVB.

[Ullimately]

@photoprotection Oh its about YOUR research.

Maybe you should look into pseudo catalase as part of your research because that helps to lower the hydrogenperoxide amount often found increased in the affected areas.

The pseudo catalase cream has to be activated with UV rays after application.

I have wondered for yrs, if Vitiligo can be or is connected to Porphyria..?

Those of us with Porphyria have issues with small spots to large patches of pigment gain & loss... Curious if anyone has compared the 2 & if they could be connected?

@moonbearwolf We're not aware of any studies linking vitiligo and any of the porphyrias. While the causes of porphyria are well established, the exact cause of vitiligo is still largely unknown, but there's no link that we're aware of. If you're interested, the work of R Spritz on vitiligo genetics may be worthwhile reading.
