Hi,
Ointments containing Tacrolimus or Pimecrolimus and topical corticosteroids are effective for smaller patches. Calcipotriene (Dovonex), a type of vitamin D is also an effective topical ointment.
Visit a Dermatologist, there are treatments like phototherapy with UVB lights, phototherapy with UVA lights, skin camouflage, depigmenting, skin grafts are also available.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
