Hi.
As per your case history you are having vitiligo patches, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid any trauma as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a placentrax gel once in morning and tacrolimus 0.03 % ointment once at night on patch.
3. Take a vitamin b12 supplement once daily for 3 months.
4. Other treatment options are oral steroid, oral psoralen taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
