Vitiligo

Let's make one thing clear: I have Vitiligo. I have white spots, I am slowly turning into Michael Jackson (minus the nose job, thankfully, just becoming completely white). I know of it. I have tried TONS of different cures, to no result.
According to wikipedia:
"Vitiligo is a chronic skin disease that causes loss of pigment, resulting in irregular pale patches of skin. It occurs when the melanocytes, cells responsible for skin pigmentation, die or are unable to function. The precise cause of vitiligo is complex and not fully understood. There is some evidence suggesting it is caused by a combination of auto-immune, genetic, and environmental factors. The population incidence worldwide is considered to be between 1% and 2%."{More...}
