Al-Marsad newspaper: Dr. Ahmed Al-Issa, a consultant dermatologist, warned, during a telephone interview with Al-Ekhbariya channel, against the new “Vitiligo” treatment, pointing out that its cost is high, and it does not eliminate vitiligo completely.
Its usefulness is comparable to traditional treatments
Dr. Ahmed said, I think that we should be careful when talking about the new vitiligo cream, because if the manufacturer offers a new treatment, it always exaggerates scientific and media exaggerations through doctors, and this is something that harms the treatment.
He continued, I was afraid of the exaggeration with which some doctors described the new treatment for vitiligo. This treatment is one of the modern treatments that have been discovered, in a new way, but its benefit is close to traditional treatments.
cream price
He added, if the new cream for vitiligo is compared with cheap and effective traditional treatments, there will not be a big difference. We should not exaggerate the effect of this cream, as its price is two thousand dollars, which is approximately 6 or 7 thousand riyals.
And he added, if the patient comes and knows the amount of this cream, he thinks that it will eliminate vitiligo permanently, and this is a mistake.. Yes, this cream is effective, new and safe, but we should not give it more than its size.
