Citrus fruits in vitiligo
I am suffering from vitiligo since 2013 and I am under allopathy treatment .
My queries are
(1) Can citrus fruits such as orange ,grapes, Lemon, Apple, Mango, pomegranate etc can be taken by vitiligo patient as these are rich sources of vit C and vit C has antioxidants properties that can help in recovery of vitiligo .
(2) Vitiligo patients also need to avoid nonveg foods such as Mutton,Chicken ,Fish and eggs.?
It has come to my knowledge from many people and some online sources that in vitiligo Citrus fruits is strictly prohibited as they increase the white patches and also nonveg foods triggers the white patches.
Pls help me .
