Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at Healthcaremagic
l have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
For progressive vitiligo you need to take a course of oral steroids as they will halt its progress.
I would recommend you to take tablet prednisolone 1 mg perkg body weight once daily for 2 consecutive days in a week for 4-6 weeks.
Also apply tacrolimus ointment on the vitiligo patches once in the morning and topical steroid like mometasone cream on the affected areas once daily at night.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
