Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

This injection is totally banned in the Inited States but in India still some doctors are prescribing for many purposes as in your case for vitiligo.

There is no any scientific proof that it produces any good result for vitiligo. Since you have already got 16 injections, so get the rest 4 also.

But this is also an important thing that except pain at the site of injection, there is no any side effects. So, for your satisfaction, you can take these injections.

I recommend you to consult a dermatologist and get his opinion regarding vitiligo.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Het Ram Bishnoi
