The skin symptom of vitilligo has been reported by persons on the MP. Some have reported improvement while on the MP.

- | About a month ago I had a mole on my arm just turn to a sort of sludge and dissapear. It felt itchy one day and I just wiped it off with a handkerchief. It left a small hole (about 6mm by 9mm), very clean on the bottom, and that healed up quickly and looks like it will leave no scar. I'm assuming my immune system took a dislike to this mole! | ||

- | -Another great thing that is happening to me is my granulomatous raised red skin lesions that had covered 80% of by body has literally cleared up. It's flattened out and browned back to nearly my original olive skin colour. | + | < |
All this has made me contact the skin and cancer foundation of Australia where I originally went and got my diagnosis of Sarcoid 8 years ago. I spoke to them and told them about all this. It flew over there heads but they are willing to see me because my case was very interesting for them at the time and I think they want to know how all this stuff works because I'm the living proof of the MP working.~Simon Elrahi | All this has made me contact the skin and cancer foundation of Australia where I originally went and got my diagnosis of Sarcoid 8 years ago.

- | I have had some interesting changes in areas where I had sun damaged skin. Particularly my neckline and the backs of my hands. At first, the MP seemed to exacerbate the redness in these areas, especially my neckline. For the first two years the skin was very red and irritated. But recently, I've started to notice it feeling much softer to the touch. There seems to be a new layer of fat making the skin feel much softer and the irritation has disappeared. I find myself constantly wanting to touch this skin it is so soft...it is an amazing difference.~ Aunt Diana | ||
