Camouflage dye with 5% or 10% dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a topical self-tanning product used to temporarily darken skin, primarily for cosmetic camouflage of conditions like vitiligo, scars, or uneven pigmentation. DHA, a three-carbon sugar, reacts with amino acids in the skin’s stratum corneum via the Maillard reaction, producing melanoidins that create a brown, tan-like appearance within 6–12 hours. The 5% concentration yields a lighter tan, suitable for fair skin, while 10% provides a darker shade, better for deeper skin tones or more pronounced camouflage. The effect lasts 5–10 days, fading with natural skin exfoliation. Apply evenly to clean, exfoliated skin; avoid mucous membranes to prevent irritation. It offers no UV protection, so sunscreen is essential. Safe for most users, it’s FDA-approved but may cause mild irritation in sensitive individuals.
Leukodermine compounding involves customized topical or oral medications for vitiligo, tailored to individual needs. Common ingredients include corticosteroids (e.g., clobetasol) to reduce inflammation, calcineurin inhibitors (e.g., tacrolimus) to slow depigmentation, or psoralens (e.g., methoxsalen) to enhance UV-based repigmentation. Applied 1–2 times daily to affected areas or taken orally as prescribed, often with phototherapy. Compounded to optimize efficacy and minimize irritation, these treatments require dermatologist supervision due to potential side effects like skin sensitivity or systemic absorption. Store light-sensitive formulations in dark containers.
Mycophenolate mofetil cream is a topical immunosuppressant used off-label for severe eczema, psoriasis, or vitiligo to reduce immune-mediated inflammation. Containing mycophenolate mofetil, it inhibits lymphocyte proliferation, easing inflammation and aiding repigmentation in vitiligo. Apply thinly to affected areas 1–2 times daily as prescribed; results may take weeks. Side effects include mild irritation or photosensitivity; use sunscreen. Avoid in pregnancy due to risks. Consult a dermatologist for monitoring and blood tests with prolonged use.
