What to eat and avoid in vitiligo

Eating a diet rich in vitamin B12 in high amounts daily helps to get rid of the symptoms of vitiligo. According to research conducted in 2011, a deficiency of vitamin B12 leads to an increase in a component called homocysteine. This component discolors the skin in certain areas of the body, so we recommend eating plenty of foods rich in vitamin B12 to reduce the appearance of white spots. Eating a diet rich in vitamin B12 helps in reducing depression. Depression is a common symptom of vitiligo. Foods rich in Vitamin B12 include soy milk, salmon fish, curd, egg, etc.
