Hello
Welcome!
I would be pleased to answer your question .
The cosmetic method of treatment include application of trichloroacetic acid in the area which has no color . Its burns the local area chemically and then brings color into the white patch .
that would be the best practice approach and you can get that done at an Dermatologist clinic .
Thanks and take care
