I have some vitiligo spots above my arm pits. All are less than the size of a dime. I am inquiring as to whether excision is an option and would you perform such a procedure?
Thank you
Answer:
Hi,
I exclusively perfrom Facial Plastic Surgery so I would not be the one to do such a body procedure for you. Most Plastic Surgeons do surgery on the entire body so they would be able to talk to you about that. One thing I would say is that scars on the arms, when there is not extra loose skin present, may show more than you desire. Therefore you would be swapping out vitiligo spots for scars and I am not sure thats the best decision. Bleaching the surrounding skin to make the hypopigmented spots less obvious may be a better option. Take your time and do your research and don’t rush into it.
Good luck
