Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice
In addition to the Tacrolimus ointment that you are already using I suggest you to also use a moderately potent topical steroid like Mometasone furoate 0.1% cream at night. Both of these are approved remedies for vitiligo. Response to treatment is slow and you should use both of these for 2-3 months for a fair trial.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
