A new product promises to help in the treatment of vitiligo. The new cream is called Pigmerise MD and it uses black pepper extract to stimulate melanocyte production.
One of the promising vitiligo treatments relies on piperine, the main compound in black pepper to stimulate pigment cells (melanocytes) reproduce faster thus repigmenting the white patches.
At present, piperine research focuses more on mice than on humans but nevertheless news that scientists are getting involved into the vitiligo cause, can only lead to positive results for us, the patients.
