Hi white patch along with grey hair can be vitiligo vulgaris.grey hair indicates vitiligo is from deeper area.it can be cured by placentrex gel in the morning and closol cream in the night .use of oral steriods for a short period can cure the condition.if no response add tacrolimus ointment in the night.if still no response go for punch grafting
